KENDAL and District Engineering Society visited infant milk formula makers Kendal Nutricare, which supplies Kensington Palace with oat porridge and full-cream formula for Prince Louis.
Ross McMahon, CEO, discussed the business's history and products, and Grant Remington, projects and contracts manager, described the engineering and technology at the Mint Bridge Road factory.
Among the society members who enjoyed the tour was David Taylor, formerly of Gilkes, whose sizeable beard took five hair nets to cover; and Jim Dean, who worked at Nutricare and its predecessors for more than 25 years.
