Protech Plastics- Industry Leaders in revolutionary plastic solutions
With client’s including Coca Cola, Crown Paint’s and Akzo Nobel, Protech Plastics are one of the leading plastic solution companies in the world today and we are delighted they chose Green Cottage Design to produce the promotional video for their revolutionary new paint container production solution.
I travelled to Birmingham last month to film the state of their art production techniques for a forthcoming promotional film to showcase their wares to a new client base.
Not only are Green Cottage producing a high profile promotional video image for Protech Plastics Containers but also writing original music and recording an on location voiceover to compliment the world leading status the company enjoy in this field.
Editing is due to complete in January 2010 and the finished production will be available to view from February.
Special thanks to Mike Clarke at Protech Plastics for allowing us unlimited access for the filming of their intensive production process.

On Tuesday 8th December I met with the University of Central Lancashire’s new qualifications for English as a foreign language body and negotiated the first stage in the development of their new website. This will be a media intensive site based around accessibility and new media featuring blog, twitter and facebook interaction as well as streaming media, podcasts and easy accessibility for the visually impaired and disabled.
Their first designs will be delivered in January and the site will hopeful be going live before for the 1st of feb. it is an exciting project for Green Cottage Design incorporating multi media, content management and a wide range of multi language accessibility options to optimise their website across the globe.
With their forthcoming accreditation, Green Cottage wish continued success for the Foreign Languages department and the increased exposure and profile the new website will bring.

Outside the Houses of Parliment (I had to lie on the floor to get this shot!)
On Tuesday 15th December I joined a group of schoolchildren, teachers & parents from Blackburn, Sheffield and Manchester on a visit to the House of Commons to document their presentation to cabinet ministers including Jack Straw, Rosie Winterton and Greg Pope. The trip was organised by Class of your own and everyone owes an enormous debt of gratitude to Alison Watson & Dan Gibson who coordinated the itinerary for the day with military precision, not least for allowing yours truly to navigate his way through the reams of security with a substantial arsenal of video and sound recording equipment!
It was a pleasure to film the day and see all the effort the children had put into their presentations and a special mention to Matthew who, although wheeled in and out of trains, taxis, lifts and all over the Houses of Parliament in his wheelchair always had a grin on his face. His interviewing wasn’t half bad either – watch out Paxman!
I cant wait to complete the editing of day and let the children and their parents see how well they came across.

From the Clitheroe Advertiser & others November 2009:
Green Cottage Design Remembrance Day Tree Planting

Local website company Green Cottage Design of Sabden are reinforcing their green ethos by planting and dedicating indigenous, organically grown tree saplings to every new website they design as part of their company environmental policy.
Green Cottage already use eco friendly, CO2 neutral web hosting for every website they design. The hosting service provider utilise wind, water and solar power in accordance with the Renewable Energy Certification System (RECS).
Owner and designer Mick Threlfall said, “As a member of the Sustainable Tourism Business Network for the Forest of Bowland, itself an area of outstanding natural beauty, I wanted to give something back to the local community and help to reinvest in the natural environment at the same time.
Many trees in the area around Sabden were chopped down and used for the war effort in World War II. What better time to start reinstating those trees than on Remembrance Day, in memory of the region’s people who gave their lives to this country.”
Local farmer Bobby Gill of Cockshotts Farm was only too pleased to offer the planting site in support of this very worthy initiative.
