22 Thursday October 18 2018 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi The Star RAV16OCT-STAR Thanks for the support It’s been a week of mixed emotions for the team here at Ravensdown. Disappointed a fire occurred last Tuesday. Thankful nobody was hurt. Grateful to the Fire Service. Proud of the team for bouncing back. Committed to rebuild, listen and improve. We are sorry and apologise to the residents of our wonderful city for the inconvenience and concern the fire caused. Our Hornby site has been part of the Christchurch community for nearly 100 years. We take our role and responsibilities seriously and front up when things go wrong. This experience has made us more determined than ever to do the region proud. We’ll be looking closely at the causes of the fire. At the moment, we believe a rubber conveyor belt caused it to spread to fibreglass roofs of four of our 13 buildings. This resulted in the extensive black smoke that could be seen for some distance. The fire involved building materials only - no fertiliser was combusting. In fact, we don’t store nitrate or other “explosive-risk” fertilisers at any of our manufacturing plants. The team here pulled out all the stops and within 48 hours; we were again open for business. Food-creating nutrients were able to be picked up by farmers for the busy spring season. If you want to learn more about what we do in Hornby and why we do it, one of the best ways is to follow us on Facebook. Thanks to all those who helped – particularly the Fire and Emergency Services who were outstanding – and to all those who showed their support. Canterbury people are known for their resilience and there was plenty of this on display throughout the week. If you have any questions, feel free to call us on 0800 100 123 or drop us a line on Facebook. Kind regards Greg Campbell Chief Executive 0800 100 123 ravensdown.co.nz Smarter farming for a better New Zealand ®
