LB takes a look at:
Communisis,
Manston Ln,
Lees,
LS15 8BH
A facility on the outskirts of Leeds which went into administration with 638 members of staff being made redundant.
https://www.thebusinessdesk.com/yorkshire/news/2118295-more-than-600-jobs-lost-as-group-falls-into-administration
Part of the facility has been taken over by a company called paragon (website below).
On site I met a member of the security staff who initially said they wouldn't let me fly my drone. I got the go ahead after he spoke to a higher up staff member (I would have continued regardless & I did check drone assist before flying). I also let him know a little bit about drone weight classes. The gentleman was polite and professional as well, so no complaints from me.
