Cleanroom partnership created

Two award-winning laboratory service providers have joined forces to create greater synergy for customers.

Relocation of other laboratory spaces outside the cleanroom environment can also be provided, offering customers a turnkey solution.

Andrew Porter will be able to benefit customers by providing modular cleanroom facilities, that could be used temporarily or part of a longer term proposition, for phased moves or for temporary relocations. 

Connect2Cleanrooms will also assisting Andrew Porter in the training of its operatives to ISO14644-1:1999 EU GGMP, and US Federal standards 209E, where appropriate. 

European sales director at Andrew Porter, John Best, commented: “We have a lot in common with Connect2Cleanrooms.  We are both experts in our respective fields and are global companies which are headquartered in Lancashire, UK, so I am really pleased that we will be working together moving forward.

“The technical specialism we are able to offer to each other’s customers makes this a mutually beneficial partnership that enhances both firms’ service offerings.”

Joe Govier, managing director of Connect2Cleanrooms, said: “We first met with Andrew Porter when we were both winners at this year’s Red Rose Awards.  It is fantastic that the winning did not stop there for either of us and that this partnership will benefit both firms and our customer base now and into the future.”
