                              NEW LABORATORY
      Although 2020 was a year that most people will probably want to put firmly
      behind them, it was in fact a landmark year for Rossdales Laboratories.

      After more than 50 years in the existing laboratory, a £1.9 million investment has enabled
      expansion of our Newmarket site to accommodate a new laboratory and staff facilities.

      Work began in September 2019 and the lab team transferred into the new facilities in January 2020,
      which provide a brand new reception and sample drop-off point, a newly refurbished building
      with an upgraded laboratory and air-handling facilities, a number of new cutting-edge analysers,
      and a new and improved car park. All of this, whilst remaining in the heart of Newmarket.

      Following this move, we are delighted to have had our busiest year to date, processing almost
      55,000 case submissions. We are pleased to have been able to keep our service running
      throughout the lockdowns, providing critical diagnostic support to our clients.

      In addition to all of this, we have provided some Covid-19 PCR testing. Unfortunately, due to
      limited capacity, we are unable to offer Covid testing widely as a commercial service; however, a
      fantastic team effort has meant that we have been able support a small number of our staff and
      some local businesses and charities.

      We would like to offer our genuine thanks to all of our clients for choosing to use our services.
      We hope we have been able to help you, and the animals you care for, through what have been
      challenging times for all.

    FURTHER EXPANSION
    The new laboratory was designed with future expansion in
    mind, but this is starting far sooner than we had anticipated.

    Following the sad closure of the AHT, we are currently undertaking an
    additional expansion – working in collaboration with some of the former         This business expansion has been
    AHT diagnostic team. This will include a dedicated virus isolation and tissue   supported by New Anglia Local
    culture suite.                                                                  Enterprise Partnership, through
                                                                                    the Growing Business Fund.
    We hope the new facility will be fully operational by the end of March 2021
    but, in the meantime, we have established a temporary facility that has
    enabled us to immediately offer a range of key diagnostic and surveillance
    testing that were lost following closure of the AHT.

                                                Our significant investment in these expansion projects
                                                enables Rossdales to maintain and strengthen its position at
