On the evening of 3rd February Craftsmen from the Skinners accompanied by the Deacon Convenor were given a guided tour of the factory by fellow Craftsmen John Hale and Scott Russell, both employees of Ardagh Glass.
This was a most enjoyable visit seeing right through each stage of the bottle making process from the raw material being fed into the furnaces right through to the packing of the bottles ready for transport to the distilleries. Craftsmen were amazed at the precision of the machinery used in al the various processes.
Our thanks are extended to all at Ardagh Glass for making our visit possible.
