Kirkby Times owes Sonae an apology. The apology is for an article which stated that Kirkby Fire service was in attendance at the factory on the 28th December when this was not true. The fire engine was actually Sonae's own fire engine! - It's a traditional fire engine, ex fire service, maybe an older model bought at auction and with less equipment on board. We are reliably informed you could buy a tank at an auction, hmmm, there's a thought.

If Sonae can purchase a fire engine and park it at the front gates, it speaks volumes. Given the fact that Sonae are SORTED, one wonders why the added precaution, or is just because another fire or explosion etc is pretty much expected?

Coming soon - Liverpool FC's youth players and Sonae. Is the Sonae factory polluting the football stars of the future? Have Sonae played a part in the lack of success on the field?
