“I was immensely grateful to Capital Refractories for showing me round today. They've done brilliantly to get back to production after the COVID-19 lockdown. I was delighted to hear that they’re running a mental health awareness programme which I’m sure will have a very positive impact on their workforce. I would like to say a big thank you to Capital Refractories for taking their time to invite me and show me the great work they’re doing.”
