We love seeing our apprentices making waves in the industry.
Wade Peek was recently named Plastics Apprentice of the Year, is definitely one to watch. With two qualifications under his belt, he’s been earmarked as a future plastics industry leader.

He hopes to one day start his own manufacturing business and says: "I really want to pass on what I have learnt to support apprentices in their training. I also want to be able to teach people outside of the plastics industry about what we do, as I truly believe we can't solve any of the really important environmental issues that surround plastic unless as many people as possible understand it."

Walking on roads

If a car had come over the brow it possibly would not have had time to see her and it could have been catastrophic. I called to her explained to her I was worried for her safety so thankfully she moved to the pavement. At this time as there is fewer cars travelling on our roads we still need to be alert and safety savy. I am so pleased nothing happened to that young girl. Please take care
