M a t th ey C a ta ly s ts invited schools, local residents and guests to its base on the Pimlico Industrial Estate. The aim was to show visitors


what happens on site and demonstrate how the company is developing links with the local community and surrounding


areas. The purpose of inviting pupils along on the first day was to help build relationships between education and industry. Feedback from the day demon­ strated that it had been a great success. Visitors were given a brief


overview of the company, a site tour and in a marquee they were able to view some of the different aspects of the life on the Clitheroe site such as environ­ mental work, health and safety,


creative thinking and recruit­ ment, laboratory demonstrations and customer information. A large contingent of retired


employees was also present, along with the Mayor of the Rib­ ble Valley. Coun. Doreen Taylor, and her consort, Mr Gordon Taylor, who also enjoyed the tour. There was face painting, bal­


loon modelling and Punch and Judy, as well as children’s enter­ tainer Brian Gore.


MP meets and greets traders


AN invitation to meet and greet market traders and shoppers was taken up by local MP Nigel Evans. He spent time talking to


traders, learning that many goods sold at Clitheroe mar­ ket are produced and supplied locally. As well as sampling prod­


ucts, Mr Evans had a look behind the scenes at some stalls. He had been invited along


by the local branch of the National Market Traders’ Federation as part of an ini­ tiative to generate support from local MPs. During his visit he also


joined the Mayor and May­ oress of the Ribble Valley, Coun. Doreen and Mr Gor­ don Taylor, in receiving a cheque for £165 raised from a tombola with prizes donated by traders. The money is to be given to
