Lab M Hosts Microbiologists Meeting

Members of the UK’s Eastern Region Association of Microbiologists (ERAM) recently gathered at Lab M’s headquarters in Heywood, Greater Manchester, UK, for one of three meetings the association holds each year to discuss food microbiology and accreditation issues and the Lab M team was delighted to open up the company’s new meeting facilities in March to the group. Having the ability to offer a venue to professional and industry bodies has long been a goal for the company’s managing director Ian Morris; with the general consensus heralding this inaugural event a great success, he is encouraged to open the doors to other organisations.

“Engagement is a key theme at Lab M. Working with customers, industry and professional bodies is something we have always done and since we moved into new headquarters last year, we are even better equipped to continue,” said Ian. “It’s been a huge pleasure to have the ERAM members with us for the day and to be in a position to make our facilities available for meetings such as this.”

Ahead of the association’s afternoon business session, attendees participated in technical presentations with the Lab M team and toured the premises, which house all Lab M’s R&D, manufacturing and commercial operations.

ERAM Chair, Keith Watkins was impressed both with the facilities on offer and Lab M’s organisation of the day. “It’s quite an honour to be the first organisation to take advantage of Lab M’s hospitality, and they certainly made us extremely welcome,” he said.
