Lab M's move
into new global headquarters, in June 2012, represents the most significant
investment in the microbiology company's more than 40-year history. It follows
a period of sustained growth and heralds a new phase in Lab M's programme of
expansion and development.
Fitted out
to exacting specifications, and with future growth very much in mind, the new
HQ houses all R&D, manufacturing, technical support and commercial
operations. It is conveniently located at Quest Park in the Greater Manchester
area in the UK, just 2 miles from Lab M's previous premises, and close to major
national and international communications hubs.
Lab M's
Chairman Colin Goodwille had been searching for the right premises for some
time and sees the move as vitally important as the company accelerates its
entry into new product areas and expanding markets around the world. "We have
ambitious plans to capitalise on the experience, expertise and skills that are
the cornerstone of Lab M's reputation around the world," he said. "Customers
know us for quality products, reliable performance and excellent support, and
the larger, bespoke premises will help us extend our portfolio of products and
services, now and well into the future. I am very proud of the new HQ and the
contribution of every member of the Lab M team in making it a first-class
working environment."
With future
expansion very much in mind, Lab M decided to purchase rather than lease new
premises. The building has been fitted out to provide a comprehensive
clean manufacturing suite, state-of-the-art R&D and QC laboratories, and
separate wet and dry production areas, all supported by a sophisticated
IT infrastructure.
Responsible
for overseeing the planning, building work and commissioning of the new
facility, Lab M's Managing Director Ian Morris said, "We have been given a
fantastic opportunity - to design our new headquarters so that they exactly
meet the needs of the business. We have insisted on very high standards and
very tight specifications. As a result, the new building offers the easy
access, practical space and enhanced services that are wholly appropriate for
an expanding company that focuses heavily on its customer relationships."
"I am very
much looking forward to welcoming visitors and demonstrating Lab M's new
capabilities. We are also talking to interested industry groups and
professional bodies who may like to use our new facilities to hold their own
meetings, and it looks as though we will have the pleasure of hosting a variety
of such events in the future."
