Thirty children from Calveley Primary Academy received a glimpse into future working life when they were invited to visit neighbouring business Boughey Distribution in Wardle.<\/p>\n
The children enjoyed a tour of one of Boughey\u2019s warehouses, watched pallets being unloaded from a trailer and watched a presentation made by Richard Whiting, the Chief Executive of NWF Group, the parent company of Boughey, NWF Fuels and NWF Agriculture.<\/p>\n
The visit was devised by the school\u2019s headteacher, Mrs Ray Rudd, and Boughey Warehouse Manager Mike Jepson.<\/p>\n
They put together a programme which saw the children aged between seven and eleven arriving in three separate groups throughout the day.<\/p>\n
Mike said: “It was a military operation to get the children here and ensure that we moved them around our busy site safely.<\/p>\n
“We were able to stop operations in one of our warehouses so that the children could get a handle on the scale of our business and see our mobile racking in operation.<\/p>\n
“As we all know, as a child, visits like this stay with us forever and we hope we\u2019ve inspired a few young people to join us when they leave school.<\/p>\n
“We all enjoyed showcasing our business to a future generation and were most impressed with the standard of questions that the children posed to Richard Whiting about the Group during his presentation.”<\/p>\n
Mrs Rudd said: “We are very grateful to the team at Boughey for creating such an informative day for the children.<\/p>\n
“The school is just a stone\u2019s throw away from the site and we are very keen to forge positive links with the NWF Group.<\/p>\n
“The visit provided a great opportunity for the children to understand the important businesses that we have close to us and to find out exactly what they do.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
