AstraZeneca – Bespoke Amazon Eco Two Tier Cycle Enclosures

At the forefront of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, over 2.5 billion doses of AstraZeneca’s vaccine have been distributed to more than 170 countries worldwide.

Based in Cambridge, the company is one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies. Its philosophy is founded upon a commitment to science, medicine and technology, diversity, culture, and empowerment.

Their dedication to culture includes building a ‘great place to work’ to help staff members reach their potential. They focus on offering a holistic well-being package that promotes physical health.

For the 2,000 employees working out of their state-of-the-art Cambridge headquarters, this includes encouraging cycling to work, and our expertise was therefore called upon to deliver them a cost-effective and secure bicycle shelter.

Our solution

With the team looking to meet AstraZeneca’s dedication to sustainability, it was decided that two bespoke Premium Two Tier Eastbrook Enclosures clad in sustainably sourced FSC-certified timber would be the optimal solution for this project.

To ensure the safety of staff and the security of their cherished bicycles, the team also incorporated anti-climb security mesh and a fob-controlled security system to each access gate.

Integrated PIR LED lighting was fitted to both the inside and exterior of the units alongside a provision for an emergency override, with a local power supply installed to support each independently.

The two enclosures have a combined capacity of more than 200 cycle spaces, and our post-installation site inspection indicates that they have become prevalent among staff.

Underpinned by our industry-leading 10-year manufacturing defect warranty, these units will undoubtedly play an essential role in AstraZeneca’s employee well-being initiatives for a long time.
