LB takes a look at: Fresh Pak 1 Valley Way, Wombwell, Barnsley, S73 0BB π - https://fresh-pak.co.uk/ After informing the security I was flying a droneso they would not panic (because I was not in plain site) A rude member of staff came out and threatened to call the police, waste their time (as company private security) for a lawful activity. The police did not attend and hopefully Fresh Pak got an education from South Yorkshire Poilce.

i don't think that'll be a loud bit
0:03
why are you wanting to fly a drone over
0:07
our facility
0:12
[Music]
0:18
hey and welcome to the channel today
0:22
we're down Wateride Park in the
0:23
outskirts of Barnsley having a look at
0:25
Fresh Pack Chilled Foods
0:29
[Music]
0:33
it is a UK is a leading UK producer of
0:35
chill foods like sandwich fillings dips
0:38
and egg products it was established in
0:42
1982 and is headquartered here in
0:46
Barnsley notably Fresh Pack processes
0:50
over 4 million hardboiled eggs weekly
0:54
and produces approximately 80 tons of
0:56
mayonnaise per week
0:59
for some
1:00
facts right so we're just on the
1:02
entrance of the of Wateride
1:04
Park pulling in and you get your big
1:08
fresh pack
1:10
signage so let's head on to the main
1:12
[Music]
1:18
gate i don't know if these are employees
1:21
for
1:21
Flushback parking on the
1:24
pavement so I don't think you will be
1:26
able to get a double boogie past that
1:29
lamp post and
1:35
vehicle so I'll do some filming from
1:37
outside and because they cannot see me
1:40
clearly I will let them know on the
1:43
intercom system on the
1:46
gates which is one of the only reasons I
1:49
would let them know is if they can't see
1:51
me clearly outside
1:57
so I've got a warning
2:00
sign there's a very short delay before
2:03
closing no
2:04
tailgating all visitors and contractors
2:06
reverse park in the bays on the left got
2:09
your big chill pack signage visitors and
2:13
reception straight on colleague parking
2:15
right deliveries left big fence gates
2:20
though oneway spikes ahead as well
2:24
and we've got I think offices upstairs
2:27
along with a load of
2:30
cameras sign for vehicle movement a
2:32
couple of bins on the way out the
2:33
facility with cigarette butts and then
2:37
you've got your turn style for your
2:38
pedestrian
2:42
staff there's a CCTV sign over there
2:45
with the data controls information on
2:47
just behind the fresh pack
2:50
sign right i think that's all we can
2:53
really see from the front of the
2:55
facility so it's going to be more of a
2:58
drone one is this so I'll give them a
3:00
bell on the intercom and just let them
3:03
know so they don't panic if they see
3:05
it so won't be able to see me stood
3:08
there i don't think
3:23
Hello security hello
3:26
hello who is it hello hey I'm just a
3:28
member of the public i'm just giving you
3:29

happening is a lovely site though
4:46
and that is where we're going after this

4:51
to can't remember what it was called
4:54
just on the signage flex Pack so I don't
4:57
know if they've got a link cuz they all
4:59
spell pack the
5:01
same i'll ask the member of staff that
5:03
comes out to speak to me
5:27
i think the ball cam on the building now
5:29
has turned round to look at me
5:51
oh there's your money
6:12
hey up
6:15
so why are you wanting to fly a drone
6:19
over our facility look really
6:22
interesting so I thought I' come and
6:23
have a
6:27
look just interesting yeah like all the
6:29
boiled eggs you do and the amount of
6:30
mayonnaise you make right so come have a
6:33
closer look from the ground take some
6:35
aerial footage some pictures so are you
6:38
representing a company or No just a
6:40
member of the public who's interested a
6:42
member of the public look as much as I'd

6:50
decline on this occasion okay that's
6:52
fine you can decline but it wasn't I
6:54
wasn't asking permission i was just
6:55
letting you know that I was going to do
6:56
it so you're going to do it regardless
6:59
okay cuz like the thing is the airspace
7:01
is regulated by the CIA not the company
7:04
and I've checked on the on the maps and
7:07
there's no restrictions in the areas
7:08
whatsoever okay could I have your name
7:11
member of the public all right cuz I'm
7:14

7:16
free
7:17
yeah i mean I'm I'm trying to be polite
7:20
yeah me too and it's nice that you ask
7:24
but as I said I'm going to have to
7:27
respectively decline okay the thing is
7:30
you So you're going to do it anyway yeah
7:31
you can i I didn't ask permission i was
7:32
just letting you know that I was going
7:34
to do it because like you I wasn't in
7:36
plain view of the building if I was in
7:38
plain view I wouldn't have even rang the
7:39
buzzer okay all right well we'll um
7:42
we'll contact the authorities and see
7:44
what they The authorities yes for what
7:46
crime
7:48
we'll let them deal with that all right
7:50
thank you yeah feel free thank you
7:57
if you do ring them and they are not
7:59
going to come with you let me know so I
8:00
don't wait for
8:08
them
8:15
okay home point updated
8:35
right so as I said there are no
8:36
restrictions in the
8:38
area so it is now time to check it to
8:41
the skies
8:44
so fresh pack ring the authorities point
8:46
updated so I will be when I finish the
8:49
drone
8:53
footage
8:55
asking if the police are
8:59
coming so do a little sight to be quite
9:01
high on this one due to the
9:05
trees so I think that is your little
9:08
security hook there just behind this
9:10
wall in front of me
9:23
[Music]
9:35
here at the car park
9:43
lobby loading up some silos
9:48
[Music]
10:05
[Music]
10:17
[Music]
10:29
some pallets fortlift action
10:42
generators air conditioning units
11:08
that's a path all the way
11:12
around high vis
11:15
crew nice little
11:20
pond no solar panels on the roof of the
11:26
building and glass windows to let some
11:28
light into the
11:29
[Music]
11:45
workshops but yeah as I said I think
11:47
that there that little
11:49
booth is the security hut
11:58
[Music]
12:04
right so I will pull the drone back and
12:07
take a picture for Google Maps
12:14
[Music]
12:28
they've got some picnic benches
12:30
[Music]
12:33
outside the main entrance lovely pillars
12:36
on the
12:43
structure and a circular roundabout car
12:46
park area
12:50
[Music]
12:58
right so I'll bring the drone back land
12:59
it and then we'll ask them if the police
13:01
are actually going to attend
13:12
[Music]
13:36
hello heat
13:50
okay i wanted to speak to security so I
13:54
let them know I was flying a drone and
13:55
they said they've got to ring the
13:57
police so I just ask them if they've
13:59
called them and if they're coming I'll
14:00
wait for them oh is it your drone
14:04
what What they've got it no no so I just
14:08
just did like a a fly around the site
14:10
and took a took a picture for Google
14:12
they came out saying it's not allowed um
14:15
but unfortunately like the company don't
14:17
own the airspace it's public there's no
14:19
restrictions so they said they're
14:21
ringing the police which is a bit of an
14:22
overreaction if you ask me so I'm just
14:24
seeing if they've actually called them
14:26
and if they have done I'll wait for them
14:32
curt see
14:34
yeah so I go about for 15 minutes and uh
14:38
see if police turn up
14:40
[Music]
14:47
uh security hi hi mate it's the guy
14:50
flying the drone i was just wondering
14:52
how long the police are going to be if
14:53
they're going to attend
14:57
anything like that you need to contact
14:59
Fresh Pack i'm uh under instructions not
15:01
to engage with you so I'm going to
15:03
terminate the call anything else you
15:05
will need to contract contact the
15:06
company in Western yeah it's just I
15:08
don't want I don't want to waste the
15:14
time right
15:18
well it's been about an hour since they
15:21
said they was going to call the police
15:23
the police haven't turned
15:25
up if I want to find that information I
15:27
have to contact Fresh
15:32
Pack so I might give them a
15:36
call just to ask the
15:39
[Music]
15:42
question cuz I don't want the police to
15:44
be out looking for me and wasting their
15:46
time and resources for
15:49
non-rime because somebody that hasn't
15:52
been told no
15:53
before got told
15:57
no so I think I'll decide what to do in
16:00
the next few minutes
16:04
well I decided I'm not going to bother
16:06
wasting my time calling
16:08
them so it's been about an hour and a
16:12
half now since they said they was going
16:14
to ring the police and they have not
16:16
turned up so I'm going to
16:20
leave
16:22
so apologies South Yorkshire Police for
16:26
fresh pack wasting your time for no time
16:31
right we will see you in the next one
