Primary research - visit to the Smile Plastics factory

My Visit to Smile Plastics Factory.

I left this morning to visit the plastic factory, and arrived in Southport to derelict building, full of huge machinery – and lots of recyclable plastics in store!
It was so educational/exciting and all of the other clichés.

I took lots of photographs to be analysed in my sketchbook – I am to have completed this by tonight.
Colin also allowed me to take samples away with me for analysis, which I did.
Next I must annotate these and display them in my sketchbook, or alternatively find a means of displaying them that will carry the weight.

I sent Colin an email post my visit, I thanked him for the opportunity and said that I would definitely like to use Smile Plastics further in my project, stating specifically that I would like to purchase some plastic from him – this came in a massive roll and would be suitable for my entire press pack contents and container, however it was important that I attempted to get the cost, as this was £75 at present, a very hefty sum!

What next?
I will attempt to complete my customer profile board.
