Board Members of Responsible Care
Responsible Care is a global initiative which highlights the chemical industry's commitment to improvements in health, safety, security and environmental performance. In the UK, it covers the whole of the supply chain: from manufacturers right through to the distributors and logistics companies.
Suttons Group are proud to work at board level and as part of the Technical Care Committee whilst helping to influence standards the logistical providers are able to bring to the industry.
Working with the UK Home Office
Suttons Group are proud to work closely with the UK Home Office, who play a pivotal role in keeping the UK border safe and secure. Recently, Border Force approached us and asked us to manufacture a training tank for their staff.
Under the management Peter Monaghan (Technical Services Manager - Europe), the tank was manufactured by two Suttons Group apprentices and based on the design of the existing Suttons Group training tank. It was also fitted with false internal and external bulkheads to show how tanks could be modified to hide contraband coming across the border.
In addition to this, an improper repair was carried out on the frame to teach Border Force Agents how to identify a frame which has been tampered with, whilst a false-bottomed syphon tube was installed and could be rotated to reveal a hidden compartment.

SUTTONS RESPONDS QUICKLY TO CLOSED BORDERS TO CONTINUE SUPPLY CHAIN FOR BRITISH STEEL & RAIN CARBON
Last month we experienced what was a described by many journalists as a 'logistics nightmare' when a growing list of countries closed their borders to Britain due to fears of a new, highly contagious, strain of coronavirus. This caused travel chaos, fears of food shortages and panic surrounding other implications on supply chains.
