Since being set up in 2002 by Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML), PML Applications has been concerned with the development and application of outputs from science and technology carried out within PML as well as developing its own more applied science and business opportunities.

Background

PML Applications Ltd is a wholly owned trading subsidiary of PML, registered in England, company number 4232750.

The formation of PML Applications Ltd was linked to the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) decision to disband the NERC Centre for Coastal and Marine Sciences, of which PML was part, and to consider new operating/ownership models for PML. The business model developed by PML’s Senior Management Team, in conjunction with Ernst & Young, to form a charitable company limited by guarantee with a wholly owned commercial trading subsidiary to provide benefit to the charity, received NERC and HM Treasury approval in the autumn of 2001. The company was incorporated in 2001 as Plymouth Marine Applications Ltd and launched on the 1st of April 2002. It was renamed in 2005 to PML Applications Ltd better to align better with the wider PML brand.

 

Corporate Governance & Operations
