News: Beatson Clark to welcome royal visitor to Rotherham
Glass manufacturer Beatson Clark will welcome a royal visitor to its plant in Rotherham next week.
Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester KG GCVO, will tour the Greasborough Road factory on September 6 to see how £10m of recent investments, including a new white flint (clear glass) furnace, have improved operations.
He will be one of the first people to inspect the new £5.4m furnace, which went into full operation earlier this month. The site has a production capacity of approximately 496 million units or 88,000 tonnes.
Beatson Clark employees will explain the glass-making process to the Duke as he looks round the factory, and the Duke will also have lunch with members of the company's Board of Directors.
The Queen's cousin will unveil a plaque to commemorate his visit and sign the visitors' book before continuing on a tour which will also include a visit to Rotherham Hospice on Broom Road and a garden party in Clifton Park.
Lynn Sidebottom, sales and marketing director at Beatson Clark, said: "It is a great honour for us to welcome the Duke to our factory and we are looking forward to showing him how the glass process works and what Beatson Clark can offer to the marketplace."
The £44m-turnover firm employs over 300 people and celebrated its 260th anniversary last year. They specialise in providing glass packaging solutions for niche brands in the food, drink and pharmaceutical markets worldwide and manufacture glass containers for a wide range of household brands, including Crabbie's, Bell's Buttercup, Lyle's Golden Syrup and Lemsip.
