Colin Sanders Innovation Centre is located in the town of Banbury, which you might remember from the nursery rhyme, Ride a Cock Horse to Banbury Cross! The centre is situated near the town centre and the site of the infamous cross. Today, Banbury is an expanding market and industrial town experiencing growth as a direct benefit of its proximity to the M40 and excellent train links to Birmingham and London. It is home to a selection of well known companies, such as Prodrive, Kraft Foods and Norbar Torque Tools.

With just under 11,000 sq ft of office space and office sizes ranging from 83 sq ft to 1,800 sq ft, the centre can provide a home to up to 27 start-up and growing companies with 1-15 employees. The centre is a walk from the Banbury town centre and has generous on-site parking facilities, with conference and meeting rooms facilities for up to 35 delegates and a range of virtual office solutions.

Colin Sanders Innovation Centre, Banbury, was opened in 1999 and is named after Colin Sanders who founded Solid State Logic in 1969, and subsequently started a number of technology-based companies whilst being an active investor in several other high-growth start ups. A grant from the Souldern Trust, formed by Colin Sanders, was a key factor in establishing this centre in Banbury.
