"' “They need to know which fastener ibatch was fitted, when, and where, and our system enables them to do that,” explained managing director Stephen Clarke, pictured. Now the company is hoping to build
.on its first European export orders after developing a new CD-ROM mar keting tool to promote the system. “The problem with marketing is that it can be quite complicated to explain
how the system works in a brochure or on our website,” explained Mr Clarke. “The best way is to actually show the. customer, but that has meant physical ly going around the world to visit them, so we looked at another way.” ■ 'I’he company approached the inter national trade team at East Lancashire
Chamber of Commerce for advice on developing a CD-ROM and through . them received financial help towards the project under the Trade Partners UKscheme.
- . The CD-ROM has taken more than
a year to develop as the company had to get clearance to take footage inside UK aerospace factories where the sys tem is already being used. The company has now started send
ing out the CD-ROM to potential cus tomers and will take it to the major aerospace shows around Europe where it regularly exhibits. Hurst Green Plastics is already regard ed as one of East Lancashire’s most successful new exporters and won an award from the Chamber’s Export Club for its achievements in breaking into the American market.

A platform for sculptor’s work
WORKS of art produced by sculptor Miss Ruth Moilliet will be on show at Clitheroe’s Platform Gallery until next month. Miss Moilliet, who comes from Bury, is
exhibiting a selection of her metal, glass and natural sculpture. This will complement photographs of
sculptor Andy Goldsworthy’s work, which are being exhibited at the same time. Miss Moilliet told the Clitheroe Advertiser
and Times that she had always had a great , fascination with nature and that her work is based on the exploration of the plant king dom. Describing one of her metal sculptures.
Miss Moilliet said her interest was in the strength of nature and its ability to survive. She added: l‘An initial response to a flower
is that it is a delicate and beautiful object, something that can be picked or
crushed.This may be true of an individual bloom but their continued cycle and relentless growth makes them the longest surviving organism on the planet. . “The materials I use reflect the contradic tion between the apparent delicacy of these flowers and the plants’ ability to sustain exis tence.” Meanwhile, Andy Goldsworthy creates
sculptures in the landscape using nature as the raw material and subject of his work. The National Touring exhibition from the
•• i M ■ up to
Hayward Gallery brings together a series of colour photographs of these works made between 1977 and 1979. The exhibitions will run until Saturday,
February 7th and the gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 4-30 p.m. Monday to Saturday.
Admission is free. Pictured is Miss Moilliet with her work at the Platform Gallery. (G100104/1)

iGro-ahead for build work :
THE go-ahead has been given by Ribble Val ley planners to build a single-storey building in an area of open space on Kemple View, on Longsight Road in Langho. The proposal is a substitution of design to a
previously approved scheme, with the main change being an increase in height on part of the building to incorporate a plant room. The plan for the development, which will be

built next to a two-storey building known as Kenton, and includes a 10-bed unit with a ' lounge and games room, dining kitchen area, and a clinic and office, came before before a meeting of the borough council's Planning and Development Committee. No objections were received from nearby
residents regarding the development, however, on submission of the previous application, one letter concerning the subsequent traffic increase, the design of the building being out of character, and the loss of value of nearby properties, was received. The above issues were taken into considera-
tion by chief planning officer Mr John Macholc, who recommended approval of the plans reassuring that there would be no sig nificant detrimental impact on nearby resi dential amenity, nor would the building have an adverse visual impact, or be to the detri ment of highway safety. Coun. James Rogerson (Alston and Hothersall) was happy to support the appli
cation on the condition that samples of walling and roofing materials will submitted
to and approved by local planners before their use in the development.
