Potting containers

Aaron from Stoke

Does anyone have large 20 to 25 ltr containers for plants they’re not wanting? Just plastic ones, nothing fancy.
I am after quite a few and happy to pay a couple dollars for some if needed.
(Obviously to collect when lockdown is over)
Thanks

Manager Loui Hornell said he and his "Christmas-mad" wife Kristina Hornell, had been umming and ahing since the start of the level 4 lockdown about whether to put up some of the bright decorations. Kristina had also put up their own Christmas tree inside, he said. Have you put up any Christmas decorations yet?

We love seeing our apprentices making waves in the industry.
Wade Peek was recently named Plastics Apprentice of the Year, is definitely one to watch. With two qualifications under his belt, he’s been earmarked as a future plastics industry leader.

He hopes to one day start his own manufacturing business and says: "I really want to pass on what I have learnt to support apprentices in their training. I also want to be able to teach people outside of the plastics industry about what we do, as I truly believe we can't solve any of the really important environmental issues that surround plastic unless as many people as possible understand it."

If you are thinking of signing up for an apprenticeship, get in touch with us here
