I’ve never actually been here but I did spot it from across the river and would like to congratulate them on having easily the most sinister building in the city. It looks like it was put up with the express purpose of redirecting unstable chemicals into the watercourses, or performing inhumane experiments on society’s undesirables. I actually took time out of my day to get a closer look. There’s a lot to find not normal about this place. The riverside location, oddly-shaped buildings, logo of an enormous blue man beckoning you into the site, weird 9MPH speed limit, and ‘fences everywhere’ policy. Apparently they make paint here. Someone has massively overestimated the importance of protecting paint. It’s existence does answer an important question for me, which is: whatever happens to those kids at school who got badges saying ‘Prefect’ and were allowed to stay inside at lunch break and patrol the halls? You know the ones. The guys who always had a bit of snot visible in their nose and drew detailed pictures of cartoon characters slicing one another into pieces. This place is evidence of where those kids go. They grow into the people who insist upon having entire military compounds around ordinary paint factories. To protect the paint. Protecting all the paint from a variety of unseen threats that neither you nor I could conceive of in our darkest imaginings. Thanks guys. Thanks for protecting the paint.

A dying company. Went there for an interview last year for industry placements besides ok facilities I mean the outside is cleaner then the inside. I was asked about several “concepts” what would you invent to stop boat corrosion and ironically guess what AkzoNobel was working on anti corrosion formula. If I was actually stupid enough to tell the interviewer my actual ideas they could have taken my idea claimed it for their own and had the resources to do it shame i’m not that stupid. How low does a company have to go to ask undergraduate students for ideas on how to solve worldly problems. Not only that but one of my flights got cancelled on the day to depart my second flight I missed seconds after rebooking my cancelled flight and then I had to book a late night flight after being up in the morning 4:00 am btw leaving at 11:30 with my interview at 7:00 in the morning oh and guess what ? I got rejected because Cambridge candidates will always come first. In between all of this I discovered over the past months my declining health was a result of lead poisoning which was at its peak during this time. Asks for my help on their own ideas Has me book 3! Flights for an interview I may never get. Suffered all of this and the interview while suffering from lead poisoning yet .... Rejects my interview. Shame on you.
Well organized site/ nice staff
We live less than 200 metres from this site.. this is a regular problem over the last few years. These \burns\ take place around 10am and can last over an hour. After several complaints it is still happiening. THIS FLUE HAS BEEN REMOVED BY AKZONOBEL in 2018. I'd like to thank them for doing so.
Had done bit of contract work there, nice place to work at and yes with room of improvements,
