Almost 100 students had an opportunity to visit the new plant as part of the JA Job Shadow initiative and be mentored by experts from the factory, including the General Manager Mr Ron Ingram – who happens to be a JA Alumni from the US.

The students left the factory at the end of the day hugely enriched by their experience
