Catalyst Science Discovery Centre appoints director

Widnes, Cheshire-based firm welcomes Stephen Youd-Thomas

Catalyst Science Discovery Centre, an interactive science centre and museum devoted to chemistry and how the products of chemistry are used in everyday life based in Widnes, Cheshire, UK, has a new director of catalyst, which encompasses the role of ERDF project director.

Stephen Youd-Thomas runs a successful corporate and social responsibility consultancy and was formerly head of social goals at the Co-operative Group.

‘This is a wonderful opportunity to help develop the work of the UK's only science discovery centre with chemistry as its main theme. Catalyst brings chemistry alive for thousands of young people from across the North West and beyond and hopefully this experience will encourage many of them to consider a career in science in the future,’ he said.
