Additional facility secured

Butterworth Laboratories has announced that it has secured an additional facility in Hampton, Middlesex, as a part of a project to expand UK laboratory operations by 15% this year. This represents the first phase of a longer-term plan to deliver increased capacity of 60% by 2020.

The move is a result of the company’s growth and will secure the Teddington facility as the UK laboratory operations. It also coincides with the appointment of David Hawkins as managing director.

“This underlines the commitment of Butterworth Laboratories to continuing to provide analytical support to our global customer base for the long-term and shows that independence and success can be maintained over a sustained period of time,” Hawkins said. “Butterworth are showing that we have ambitions in-line with our global partners and continue to go from strength to strength.”
