FLEXILABS
The need for GSK to respond to the new and changing R&D environment led to the development of the FlexiLab concept - a completely flexible laboratory design solution.
Scientists were often impeded by laboratories with fixed furniture, fume cupboards and a rigid services infrastructure with little scope for change.
The novel but fully tested FlexiLab concept allows the laboratory workspace to constantly evolve to respond to GSK's new and changing R&D environment. The need is for a scientific work space that can be rapidly installed and be reconfigured simply when required. The FlexiLab concept provides this with minimal disruption.
FlexiLab principles are endorsed by GSK and being implemented on a global basis. FlexiLabs are being successfully applied throughout all GSK European Operations R&D facilities.
The timescales for installing these projects are extremely tight and involve working in conjunction with a number of other contractors on site. Due to Stortford Interiors' successful high spec, high quality and well-managed installation, work is on going with GSK on this particular project across their numerous laboratories.
Stortford Interiors has been the major contractor for the installation of the ceilings and walls of the FlexiLab system at several GSK sites, including their largest one-off laboratory project - the Triple FlexiLab at their site in Stevenage. The FlexiLab concept uses high spec products based around Komfort Polar silicone glazed full glass partitions, including glass doors and Burgess metal pan ceilings.

| | | | Jim Nania - Managing Director Jim Nania has been working in the interior fit-out and partitioning industry since 1971. He established Stortford Interiors in 1991, with the clear vision to concentrate on and target the UK interior fit-out market. He recruited experienced personnel, who together with him, brought specialist technical knowledge, problem solving and value engineering to the business. Together, they have successfully positioned the company as one of the leading UK specialist contractors, and the company continues to grow year on year, whilst remaining financially profitable. Jim is a former President of The Association of Interior Specialists.

A move to Stortford Interiors in 1998 to join his old Norwood colleague, Jim Nania, led to the establishment of the company’s progressively growing direct division.
