The client
Ceva Ridgeway are a VMD- (Veterinary Medicines Directorate) licensed manufacturer of autogenous vaccines, produced for agricultural and marine life. Autogenous vaccines are prepared from a pathogen extracted from a host animal/s which is then used to treat other infected animals.
Following updates to Good Manufacturing Practice regulations in 2021, all vaccines manufacturers are now governed by GMP standards. During this time, Connect 2 Cleanrooms’ GMP and Regulatory Governance team supported Ceva Ridgeway with optimising their workflows and processes, along with advising on suitable clothing and disinfectant consumables to ensure they were consistently operating in line with GMP Annex 1.
The furniture fit-out project
In 2022, Ceva Ridgeway were looking to replace non-GMP-compliant furnishings within their manufacturing and storage areas. This would not only support their efforts with continually demonstrating compliance with GMP grade B but also optimise their production processes.
This furniture fit-out project included both standard and custom-made furniture using 304 and 316 stainless steel for GMP compliance:
- Stainless steel tables
- Stainless steel drawers
- Stainless steel cupboards
- Stainless steel sinks
- Stainless steel racking
- Stainless steel transport trolleys
- Gas cylinder storage unit
During this time, Ceva Ridgeway also opted for GMP training to ensure their cleanroom operators were informed and up to date with GMP guidelines, allowing them to confidently demonstrate to the VMD that they meet GMP compliance.
Fast forward to 2025, Ceva Ridgeway introduced an additional storage facility to support their expanding production. Currently, this new area isn’t mandated under GMP guidelines, and whilst they could have opted for standard storage and furniture from a general supplier, it was important for Ceva Ridgeway to maintain consistency throughout their entire applications and implement future-proof solutions that support additional expansion.
Our cleanroom furniture experts worked closely with Ceva Ridgeway’s team to deliver the most suitable solutions for the project. During a site visit to their facility in Compton, we conducted a thorough assessment of their space and requirements. Using 3D mapping and modelling, we provided a detailed visualisation of the proposed layout, enabling Ceva Ridgeway to clearly envision their new facility.
Following two design amendments to refine the process flows, the final concept included custom-made storage solutions and furnishings using 304 stainless steel to sustain increased weight and suit their unique processes.
