Sandon Global: Building a World-Class Manufacturing Facility
In this episode of Black Cat Chat, Andy Clow is joined by Rich Millington, Managing Director of Sandon Global, and Peter Fearon Brown of 2M2 Studio to explore the story behind one of the UK's most impressive advanced manufacturing facilities.
Together, they discuss how a long-term vision evolved from an ageing industrial unit into a purpose-built headquarters designed to support innovation, growth and global ambition.
The conversation covers the importance of understanding a client's business before putting pen to paper, the role design plays in shaping company culture, and how thoughtful workplace environments can bring teams together. Rich and Peter also share the challenges faced throughout the project, including land acquisition, power supply issues and navigating construction during the Covid-19 pandemic.
From showcasing cutting-edge manufacturing processes to creating collaborative spaces that break down barriers between office and production teams, this episode highlights how great buildings can become powerful business tools.
A fascinating listen for anyone involved in property, construction, manufacturing, workplace design or business leadership.
We're looking forward to welcoming guests from across the built environment in upcoming episodes. Hit Subscribe to make sure you don't miss an episode!
