BIA OBAIR fulfils a real need and tackles a bottleneck in scaling our regional food companies. It consists of 12 food-grade production units and 4 co-working incubator kitchens allowing a continuum of growth options
9 independent own door starter units
3 independent own door HPSU growth units
4 unique co-working food incubators (Dairy, Meat, Seafood and Multi-Product)
Considerable research and reference to best practice, consultation and collaboration has gone into BIA OBAIR, crafting a formula of unit specialization and scale to allow companies to progress from a hot desk in BIA EOLAS to using a specialist Co-Working/time share facility to taking a Starter Unit to progressing to a Growth/HPSU unit as their business develops. Of course, companies can go straight in at Growth Unit level should they be at that scale.
