Best of Butters 2016

This year, for the first time, we held our awards ceremony at our Plants site.  We glammed up a corner of the factory, to give it the Oscars treatment, there was no expense spared!!  We splashed out on balloons, party nibble food and even the good old red carpet for the winners to strut down!
