Dragon Boat Racing (Jun 9th, 2018)!
On a sunny Saturday on Preston Dock, F2 Chemicals Ltd. put together a dragon boat team, raising money for CRY, in memory of former employee, Steve Wiggins.
A total of twelve teams each took part, with three heats for each team, the four best times going through to the final. Our first race (see image) was okay, but by our third heat, we were getting it together, and just made the top four. For the final, we gave it all we had, in a very tight race - just 1.5 seconds between first and third. With most of us complete novices, we were both pleased and amazed to come second (beaten by a far more experienced UCLan team).
And we raised over £700 for charity too!

New PP30 Filling Station (Nov 8th, 2016)!
We have recently built a new custom designed PP30 (Octafluoropropane) packaging/filling station which is in the start-up process and will hopefully be online in the New Year. We hope the new facility will reduce filling time and improve handling.
