At Restore Harrow Green, collaboration sits at the heart of everything we do, and nowhere is that more evident than in our growing partnership with Haier Biomedical, a leading manufacturer of sustainable cold storage and laboratory equipment.

As one of the UK’s largest business relocation specialists, we support a wide range of sectors nationwide. But our expertise in life sciences logistics and laboratory relocations has become a true centre of excellence. From managing complex lab moves and biobank relocations to ensuring full compliance with biosafety and cold chain regulations, we help our customers minimise downtime and maintain scientific integrity at every stage.

Supporting Science Through Specialist Logistics

Our dedicated life sciences division operates across the UK, particularly within the renowned ‘Golden Triangle’ of London, Cambridge and Oxford, where many of the country’s most advanced research organisations are based.

Daniel Collins, our Head of Operations – Life Sciences, explains:

“We move everything from individual samples to entire laboratories. That includes sensitive instruments, high-value analytical equipment and chemicals of all biosafety levels. Whether it’s a small-scale transfer using dry ice and temperature control units or full laboratory relocations using inverter-equipped vehicles, we maintain complete cold chain integrity and full regulatory compliance throughout.”

Our teams also deliver contingency and disaster recovery solutions for clients, helping them respond quickly to equipment failures or power outages while maintaining the safety of valuable research materials.

Building the Cambridge Biobanking Facility

One of our most significant recent projects has been the creation of a state-of-the-art biobanking facility in Cambridge. The site helps address the growing demand for secure, compliant laboratory storage in one of the UK’s leading life sciences regions.

The facility is fully accredited by the Human Tissue Authority (HTA), allowing for the safe and ethical storage of human tissue and biological materials. To ensure the highest standards of performance and energy efficiency, we partnered with Haier Biomedical to install advanced ultra-low temperature (ULT) freezers and supporting storage infrastructure.

“We’d already worked with Haier Biomedical on several laboratory relocations, so partnering with them for the biobank was a natural next step,” says Daniel. “Their equipment offers exceptional reliability and compatibility with multiple racking formats, which is essential given the wide range of sample types we handle. Their commitment to energy efficiency also aligns perfectly with our sustainability goals.”.

Partnership Built on Shared Values

Our relationship with Haier Biomedical goes far beyond supply and installation. It’s a partnership built on shared values, trust, collaboration, and a commitment to doing things the right way.

“At Restore Harrow Green, we don’t just transact – we build partnerships,” Daniel continues. “We work closely with our customers and suppliers to continually improve processes and overcome challenges together. Haier Biomedical shares that same mindset, which has made this a strong, mutually beneficial relationship.”

Richard Jafrato, General Manager at Haier Biomedical UK, echoes this sentiment:

“Our partnership with Restore Harrow Green is key to our operations. We rely on their specialist logistics teams for the safe delivery and installation of our laboratory instruments across the UK, from ULT freezers and safety cabinets to centrifuges and blood bank refrigerators. Their professionalism and reliability make them an extension of our own team.”

Looking Ahead

This partnership demonstrates the impact that collaboration and shared expertise can have within the life sciences community. By combining Restore Harrow Green’s specialist relocation and biobank management capabilities with Haier Biomedical’s advanced cold storage technologies, we’re helping laboratories and research organisations protect their science, strengthen their sustainability, and prepare for the future.

Together, we’re supporting the vital work that keeps the life sciences moving forward.
