About Cryoniss

We are a UK-based outsourced managed service provider of temperature-controlled, biological sample storage and cold-chain logistics solutions, founded by former senior leaders of the global AstraZeneca cell banking operation, Sonia Houghton and Phil Hargreaves. 

Having established a world-class service internal provision for next-day delivery of qualified cell lines to AstraZeneca’s researchers and collaborators globally, Sonia and Phil decided to use their expertise and experience to launch Cryoniss to serve pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, universities and clinical research organisations.

Today, Cryoniss enables exceptional science in the UK and globally by providing ethical and secure storage and transportation of biological samples. Based in the North West of England, we serve our growing international customer base from world-class storage facilities at the Alderley Park bioscience campus near Macclesfield and The Heath Business and Technical Park in Runcorn.

In a highly regulated field, we provide support with compliance – ensuring our customers can focus on their core business. We also work with a network of carefully chosen partners who strive to provide the same exceptional level of customer service.

In late 2021 Cryoniss secured a £500,000 investment from NPIF – Maven Equity Finance, managed by Maven Capital Partners and part of the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund (NPIF).  The funding will enable us to create new jobs, expand our service offering and invest in green technology as we continue to grow our customer base and build our reputation as a truly world-class bio-service provider.
