INNOVIA FILMS LIMITED - WIGTON

This visit had been arranged for November 2009 but unfortunately had to be cancelled because of the floods in West Cumbria. The Deputy Chairman Mr Bill Lowther and Mr David Beeby, Chief Executive Officer, had kindly organised a wonderful visit for us.

12.45pm
20 guests met at Wigton Hall for a buffet lunch after which we were taken to the Board Room and given a fascinating Presentation of the work AT Innovia, and especially what they do overseas.

3.00pm
We then drove to the factory where we had to change into protective clothing and eyewear and were split into groups of 4 for excellent tours of the factory.
At 4.50pm we were taken to the Research and Development Centre for a short guided tour and were then taken back to Wigton Hall for a delicious tea before leaving.
