Twenty three Members and spouses of Middlesbrough Erimus Rotary visited Labman this evening. Craig Thornton gave an excellent presentation and tour of the facilities.
Labman has experienced fantastic growth in the lab automation, instrument development and software engineering supplying customers worldwide . Their strong order book is a credit to their quality and variety of offering.
The company employs over 100 people with many engineers, multi skilled technicians and those using specific expertise.
It’s obvious that it’s the people from the top down who have made this company what they are , world leaders. The people we talked to were enthusiastic, focussed and dedicated to applying their expertise.
The leadership of this company are clearly entrepreneurs who take care of their people. There are not many places where you have a climbing wall , squash court and gym integrated into the manufacturing space and these can be used at any time.
The photo shows Craig, third from left in front row with the visitors. In the background there are several automation units which are being completed for customers. An idea for the old red phone box is for it to be converted into a soundproof space for data analysis.
Irrespective of its eventual use the phone box looks great on the shop floor.
