As our cleanroom and containment expertise can also be effectively utilised in the semiconductor market, today we are visiting the world's premier Compound Semiconductor Cluster in South Wales. Our BD Manger, Gary Horrocks is attending Semiconductor Packaging Workshop at the Newport Wafer Fab facility to learn more about the complexities of semiconductor packaging technologies and network with leading technology experts.
We're looking forward to exhibiting at the PHSS - Pharmaceutical & Healthcare Sciences Society Sterile Products Manufacture Conference 2019 on the 6th June in Knutsford, Cheshire. Suzy Smith and our process partner will be there to provide expert advice and discuss any relevant projects.
Yesterday our BD Manager, Gary Horrocks attended the Bionow Pharma Manufacturing Conference in Darlington. It was a great opportunity to learn more about the challenges and enablers for biopharma manufacturing from the perspective of our potential clients. The presentations of the day were very useful and informative. We are looking forward to attending similar events in the future.
We have been awarded a £1.75 million design and build contract for a new pharmacy and aseptic suite for chemotherapy and clinical trial/emerging therapy at Weston Park Hospital in Sheffield. We will take on the role of principal designer and principal contractor for the project, which builds on our formidable track record in designing, engineering, building and commissioning complex healthcare environments. This includes previous NHS facilities at London's Guy's & St Thomas' and a sterile services department in the North West, along with a major hospital scheme in Qatar.
We are looking forward to attending Making Pharmaceuticals Conference on Tuesday 30th and Wednesday 1st May. The exhibition will be held at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry, and you can visit BES at stand 714. Suzy Smith and Gary Horrocks will be there to provide expert advice, showcase our portfolio and network.
Our project team recently celebrated over 1 million hours worked on the Macclesfield Packing & Logistics Project. We wouldn't have achieved this without the great effort of all staff on site, maintaining a great safety record with a fantastic level of quality. Following a site tour, everyone was treated to lunch to recognise all of the hard work that has helped us to achieve this remarkable milestone. Congratulations!
2019 has got off to a bumper start for BES, with new contracts won by our Southern office alone totalling £6.7 million. It shows that our expansion in Milton Keynes, where our clients, team and delivery partners in the South can collaborate in a shared space at our offices while tapping into our national capabilities, is already building on the success of our Rochdale HQ across the pharmaceutical, biotech and medical sectors.
We have recently appointed a new Design Lead, Darren Wolfe to join our growing team in Milton Keynes office. The company has experienced substantial business growth over the last few years and opened the second office to facilitate further expansion and respond more quickly to the needs of our southern clients. In his role, Darren, will be responsible for building relationships with our clients, establishing their requirements and advising on the best solutions. He will be also overseeing project delivery from feasibility studies to handover and completion.
Following the successful delivery of a new R&D facility for the world leader in addiction treatment, BES were awarded a £500,000 commission to design a new oral solid dose manufacturing facility, located on the same site. Following an initial feasibility study to establish the project requirements, our Front End design team worked closely with the client from project inception to develop the design up to RIBA Stage 3.
Our new client, specialising in development of new applications for patch technology, engaged BES to undertake a front end study to understand the feasibility of locating a new IMP pilot manufacturing plant within their existing building. Our feasibility study demonstrated that the existing building could be re-modelled to form a new clinical trials facility.
