Opening our new lab

May 2022

In May 2022, Start Afresh opened our new laboratory and coolroom complex. This is a great addition to our facilities, and a great place to work for our team. The addition of 4 temperature-controlled spaces adjacent to the lab have given us a great workspace that is ideal for our research programme.
