Open Communications supported client HARIBO during a visit of a very different kind last week when Her Royal Highness Princess Anne, the Princess Royal, came to Pontefract to experience the sweeter side to the town during a planned tour.
Keen to speak with factory workers at the site, the Princess was invited to the HARIBO manufacturing facility, which employs more than 500 local people and has been producing sweet treats for more than 250 years.
During the visit the Princess was shown the process used to create the brands world famous Starmix treats, as well as its Tangfastics product. Following the tour a bouquet of flowers was presented to the Princess by local boy, Cameron Ramsden (8) from Pontefract whose Mother works at the site.
Says Cameron: “It was great to meet the Princess. When I found out that I would be the one to hand over the bouquet I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep! We are learning about royalty at school so I know that I have the best story to tell and some fab pictures to show the class.”
This is the second Royal visit Open Communications has supported, following a visit by HRH The Countess of Wessex to Delicious Alchemy, the suppliers of gluten and wheat free foods, last November.
