Project Details
The University of Manchester commissioned a new building in 2015 to house the Henry Royce Institute. The Henry Royce Institute is the UK’s national institute for advanced materials research and innovation.
BCL assisted the University by decanting several laboratories from the legacy buildings and relocating them to the new facility. This was a multi phased project carried out over circa 24 months.
Even the standard equipment such as 3D Printers, Glove Boxes and Fume Cupboards required skill and care to be moved. Some of the equipment was bespoke and unique requiring our utmost attention.
Preparation played a crucial role with planning meetings taking place with the UoM Project Manager before every removal phase. BCL was also able to utilise its specialist lifting equipment and crate makers to ensure that everything arrived safely.
BCL managed to forge effective relationships with the multiple stakeholders – from University Professors to Project Managers and construction contractors.
BCL has successfully moved all of the equipment and, at the time of typing, is moving the academic staff’s personal belongings as well.

Nothing was ever too much of an ask for them
Email to Piers
Hi, Piers
Just wanted to let you and the bosses at BCL know that George, Dave, Mike and the boys were absolutely top class this week.
They put in a proper shift for us. Nothing was ever too much of an ask for them. They sorted loads of little jobs out in-between all the massive ones. They were great with the staff too.
This was a potentially awkward move with it being to and from live sites, with another company doing the desks but they really smashed it and made the move go very smoothly.
Honestly couldn't have gone better.
Thanks, everyone.

I just wanted to pass my thanks onto George, Ambrose and the other two lads who completed the job at the weekend.
This was a big job and a very bitty job, but the lads got the job done in really good time and to a high standard. The work we did has made a massive impact to the working environment of the building and the staff based there.
Please thank them for me.

Email from Dudley MBC
Just to say thank you Jacki for your guys’ patience and perseverance against the odds this morning, They were so very patient with the tenant and allowed me time to pack boxes where they hadn’t been done. We are really grateful they waited for us - please pass on our thanks.
Regards,
Debbie, Dudley MBCSimon and the crew did an excellent job

Simon and the crew did an excellent job. The guys always do but the clearance was very very challenging with various shenanigans and the water getting cut off early in the building so I wanted to pass on my appreciation to everyone for getting the job done without complaint.
