After almost a year of highly detailed planning, preparation and fitting out, on 18 June 2012 microbiology company Lab M moved into the company's new global headquarters - ahead of time and on plan!

At a meeting to welcome the Lab M teams to their new home in Heywood, Greater Manchester, UK, Chairman Colin Goodwille paid tribute to everyone for their roles in achieving the move with minimum disruption. "I'd especially like to thank Ian Morris, who joined Lab M as Managing Director part way through the design and fitting out process," said Mr Goodwille. "Ian masterminded many of the critical stages and has ensured that we have stayed firmly on track."

He went on to add, "It has been a very exciting 12 months seeing the transformation of an empty shell into our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. This significant investment in premises and infrastructure will ensure we operate to the highest industry standards and can further extend the range of products that Lab M supplies, and the markets we serve. Our customers benefit from the expertise we bring together in housing R&D, manufacturing, technical and commercial operations under one roof and we have built in the capacity for significant future expansion."

The name Lab M has been synonymous with microbiology for more than 40 years and the company is especially well known for the development, manufacture and supply of high quality microbiological culture media.
