Teachers Sponsorship takes Distributors & Compounders to the Top of the Class.

The BPF Polymer Distributors & Compounders Group today pledged £5000 to the Teachers Polymer Study Tours. This builds on a previous sponsorship in 2011 and will mean that by the end of 2012, the Group will have funded places on the courses for at least six teachers. The Polymer Study Tours were initiated by the Worshipful Company of Horners in 1987 and have so far provided 2800 teachers with the opportunity to improve their knowledge of polymers. For more information please visit the Polymer Study Tours webpage.

BPF Distributors & Compounders Group spokesperson, Sarah Plant, said, “The Polymer Distributors & Compounders Group have been actively involved in enhancing the image of plastics for many years and these courses provide a perfect opportunity for raising awareness of the UK polymer industry and engaging further with the next generation of teachers and their pupils.“
