"Great opportunity for many of our newer starters to understand how a lab works and spend some time with and get to know colleagues they may not yet have met."
- Jonathan Lewis
Ten of our team recently had the opportunity to visit the chemical lab at Socotec in Burton on Trent. This visit included a comprehensive technical update, an insightful lab tour, and a delightful lunch, offering a unique chance for our new starters and seasoned employees to understand lab operations and the challenges faced in the field.
A Day of Insight and Interaction
The visit was organised to give our team a holistic view of the lab’s workings. The day began with a detailed technical update and a guided tour of the lab facilities. This was an educational experience and a fantastic opportunity for team bonding and networking.
Jonathan Lewis aptly summarised the day, stating, “It’s a great opportunity for many of our newer starters and a couple of people who’ve been around a bit longer to understand how a lab works and some of the challenges they face as well as to spend some time with and get to know colleagues they may not yet have met.”
