One of the reasons it was so interesting is Martyn Marshall, who delivered one of the main parts of the training, was so passionate about everything. He really made what can be a difficult subject very interesting and encouraged us all to participate with questions or personal experience.Vicky MacQuarrie, Quality Compliance Manager, Ardagh Glass The course syllabus introduces delegates to glass manufacture and processing, glass properties and performance, common types of defects and failure, environmental considerations and recycling.
