The Jet Environmental team is responsible for designing, manufacturing, installing and maintaining systems which control temperature and humidity in open plan industrial and commercial warehouses. With a growing client roster, the business has secured its position in the pharmaceutical market.
Jason Hibbs, managing director of Jet Environmental, said: “Warehouses that store pharmaceutical products must comply with MHRA regulations. Even ‘ambient’ requires a level of control to limit the maximum internal temperature.
“In addition, manufacturers stipulate product-specific recommendations that often have more stringent temperature tolerances than the MHRA. For pharmaceutical businesses, this requires a responsible person to constantly monitor and provide continual compliance reporting, which can add pressure to businesses. Our aim is to relieve that pressure.”
Jet Environmental has worked hard to provide the essential environmental conditioning needed by pharmaceutical companies. It now specialises in the sector, with many successful installations in large and niche operations.
Mr Hibbs continued: “We offer a complete environmental solution to drug manufacturers and distributors. This comprises bespoke system design, quick installation and a solution that monitors itself from a matrix of sensors. System monitoring and self-adjustment is recorded for proof of environmental compliance, with the added facility of remote connections to smartphones.
“It’s working; we estimate that over 50 percent of medicines prescribed in the UK pass through a warehouse distribution centre where the temperature has been controlled by Jet Environmental.”
However, mechanical cooling can be an expensive requirement for pharmaceutical businesses. Jet Environmental designs systems that incorporate free cooling techniques and smart control philosophies that minimise cooling plant operation where possible. This reduces cost and also decreases the carbon footprint of any given warehouse.
Mr Hibbs concluded: “Our goal is to become the ‘go to’ provider of temperature control systems for the pharmaceutical sector and I think we’re well on the way.”
According to Jet Environmental’s latest figures, the business is now on track for 50 percent year on year growth in revenue.
