Logistics firm launches new global brand

Adlington-based specialist relocations firm, Andrew Porter, has re-branded its laboratory relocations division to 'aport' in order to cement its standing in the global marketplace.

aport will be the only integrated laboratory relocation firm capable of working on a global scale, ensuring standardised and compliant services are delivered throughout every country.

Sales director, John Best, said: “Over our five years in laboratory relocations we have developed unique specialisms and techniques which no other company can match. This has not gone unnoticed and we have quickly built a strong reputation with some of the world’s leading names in pharma and life sciences.

aport is capable of handling laboratory relocations of any size and anywhere in the world. This could be the movement of a single piece of instrumentation within a premises, or the relocation of multiple departments to different countries. Full project management can be provided, as well as added value services such as third party laboratory audits and revalidation of assays. aport’s approach is to provide a fully integrated turnkey service, with all elements of the move being managed in-house. Some of the firm’s diverse range of recent projects include a cleanroom relocation for the European Space Agency, a major relocation for an OEM in North America, a multi-departmental relocation of a large laboratory in Abu Dhabi, and several key projects for big pharma clients throughout the world.
