His Royal Highness Prince Edward, Duke of Kent – first cousin of Queen Elizabeth – on 28th May visited the Hunslet, Leeds, UK, headquarters and principal factory of the 4B Braime Group, which this year commemorates its 130th anniversary (for further details see EBS News for week of 25 February 2019 which can be viewed at www.eurobulksystems.com).  The Duke was given a tour of the Braime factory, a landmark grade-2 listed building where period features and historic machines can still be seen next to ultra-modern automated production lines. This was followed by a presentation of a plaque and buffet in the canteen with 4B’s employees.

“It is a great honour to receive the Duke”, said Nicholas Braime, chairman of the Braime Group. This is the second royal visit in the company’s 130-year history, the last taking place in 1917 by Princess Mary to open the first canteen in the country built for female employees. Proud of its rich heritage, the 4B Braime Group is at the forefront of innovation in conveying technology and a trusted supplier for customers worldwide in a wide range of sectors ranging from grain, feed and milling through to cement and similar heavy-duty industries. www.go4b.com
