Also joining the FTSE 250 are gene and cell therapy developer Oxford BioMedica PLC and Partners Group Private Equity Ltd.

Firms to exit the FTSE 250 are online retailer Asos PLC, auction market operator Auction Technology Group PLC, Bloomsbury Publishing PLC and housebuilder Crest Nicholson Holdings PLC.

Solar investor NextEnergy Solar Fund Ltd and financial sector investor Polar Capital Global Financials Trust PLC will also leave the index.

All changes will take effect from the start of trading on September 22.
