We’re excited to share the news that we’ve secured a new office and lab space! Whilst looking for lab space to complete our end-to-end manufacturing testing we realised that nothing we were seeing was suitable to our needs. With London prices for business rental sky high we decided that it would be best to custom build our own space designed specifically to our needs instead of retrofitting something that wasn't quite right to start with.
We settled on Biscuit Factory in Bermondsey as our location. With its close proximity to London Bridge, affordability and, (crucially for food-waste and equipment deliveries!) its heavy goods lifts, it was a perfect fit. The fit-out of the lab space took a lot of planning followed by about two months of construction and now there is only one last piece of equipment to install. For the office space part of the build we found as much free and second-hand furniture as possible to keep our costs low and our kit-out as sustainable as possible. The pair of upholstered armchairs that we secured for free and probably our favourite find!
It's been a non-stop few months (we'll be happy if we never see another moving truck again) and we're excited to have people visit so if you're in Bermondsey come by and say hi!
Before and in progress images of our new space. We've added walls, windows, specialist plumbing, electricity and extraction.
