For over 100 years, Fera has been helping solve some of the world’s biggest challenges through science.
From protecting the food we eat and supporting sustainable farming to safeguarding the environment and tackling emerging global risks, our work reaches far beyond our labs. Yet everything starts here, just outside York.
Today, Fera is one of the region’s largest science employers, with more than 600 colleagues working across a unique mix of scientific disciplines. Our teams of researchers, consultants and technical specialists support businesses, governments and organisations across the UK and around the world, delivering science that has real-world impact.
But while our reach is global, our commitment is local.

York has always been our home. It’s where we’ve built our expertise, developed world-leading facilities and created hundreds of highly skilled jobs. It’s where we work with universities, schools and local organisations to inspire future scientists, develop talent and strengthen the region’s economy.
We’re proud to be part of a city recognised for innovation.
Innovation isn’t just something that happens in a laboratory. It happens when people work together, challenge ideas and look for better ways to solve problems. It’s what drives businesses forward, creates opportunities and helps communities thrive.
That spirit of collaboration is something we see every day at Fera.
Over the past year, we’ve entered an exciting new chapter. We’ve launched a new brand that reflects who we are today, expanded our capabilities, welcomed new expertise into our leadership team and continued investing in the science, people and partnerships that will shape the future.
Science for life
It’s a promise that every piece of research, every scientific breakthrough and every partnership should create meaningful impact, protecting people, supporting businesses and helping build a healthier, more sustainable world.
