Balloon release celebrates Colorcoat relaunch

To celebrate the relaunch of Colorcoat Prisma, Tata Steel hosted a European wide balloon release to mark the event. Illustrating the global reach of Colorcoat Prisma, the balloons were all released at 10am GMT in six locations across the UK, as well as in six other European localities.

Congratulations went to Maes Garmon School in Flintshire, whose balloon travelled the furthest, flying a total distance of 83km to be found on a farm in Buxton, Derbyshire.

Tata Steel has donated a hot air balloon ride to the winner of the balloon release. Maes Garmon School Teacher, Emma Houston said: “It was great to take part in the balloon release. We are delighted to have won and we will auction the balloon ride to raise funds for our school.”
