DEVELOPMENT AND EXPANSION OF BUSINESS PREMISES
Our new premises at the foot of Conwy Mountain
It is now over four and a half years since PetroStrat unveiled its purpose-built premises in Conwy, North Wales. On the day the company moved, in June 2007, there were 11 members of staff; today the staff number 41! The premises were fitted-out to our detailed specifications, which included a sample processing laboratory, a facility that continues to enable our stratigraphers to monitor sample preparation closely and also facilitates rapid turnaround / ‘hot-shot’ analyses.
By 2008 there was a need to expand the company office space. This was achieved with the fit-out of the fourth part of the building. In turn, this created work space for: 8 more biostratigraphers; a Dry Lab for preparing nanno and micro samples and for the picking of micro samples; a Wet Lab for Thin Section preparation work; a large Staff Room; and an Archive Room.
Then in 2009, and in response to continually increasing workloads, the decision was taken to completely refit the Laboratory in order to accommodate a third fume-cupboard and create additional work surface and wash-down space. This has increased our palynological processing throughput by a factor of 50%. In addition to this we have also created yet more wash-down facilities and storage space in two local business units adjacent to the main premises.
We continue to be delighted with the business premises located, as they are, in a scenic position at the foot of Conwy Mountain, immediately adjacent to a junction on the main North Wales arterial road route, <2 miles from a main line railway station with a direct connection to London, and a little over an hour an away from the international airports of Manchester and Liverpool.
