We’re delighted to announce that Samuel Atack will be stepping into the role of Operations Director at Stevenage Bioscience Catalyst on 1st April 2025 when current Operations Director Dave Mudd retires.

After four years as Facilities & Estates Manager, Sam has been instrumental in delivering major facilities-led projects while supporting and developing the Operations team. His expertise includes Health & Safety, ESG, strategic oversight, and project management.
With a strong focus on operational excellence, sustainability, and stakeholder engagement, Sam is passionate about driving service improvements and delivering SBC’s ESG strategy - excitingly, he’ll soon be launching our new campus operations App.

Before joining SBC, Sam worked across UCL’s estate in various roles and in operations at the Sainsbury's Wellcome Centre. He takes over from David Mudd, who is retiring after leading SBC’s Operations team since its inception in 2011.

Dave says: “Sam will be a fantastic asset to the SBC executive team and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to lead operations and the strategic plans for the business and the overall campus. I know Sam will succeed in his new role with all the support from SBC, stakeholders and occupiers. I am confident I leave the SBC facilities in very good hands.”

Sam says: "I'm looking forward to building upon the strong foundations of our operations team. Having been part of SBC for the past four years, I have witnessed first-hand the remarkable innovation and collaboration that define this community.

I am eager to drive operational excellence, strengthen our sustainability initiatives through collaboration, and ensure we continue providing a world-class environment where our Occupiers can thrive.

I also want to take a moment to recognise Dave’s leadership and dedication over the years. His guidance has been invaluable, and he leaves behind a fantastic legacy. I’m grateful for his support and the strong platform he has built for the future of SBC’s operations."

Join us in congratulating Sam as he embarks on this new chapter.
