This week we visited the Nissan Factory and found out what it takes to produce over 500,000 cars per year, from the punishing presses to the production line.
I’m not going to lie, I was a little apprehensive when I was told that I was going to be visiting the Nissan factory in Sunderland. I mean, yes, I work with cars, but this is usually behind the (relative) safety of a computer screen as part of the Lookers Marketing team.
To get the chance to see them made from scratch inside a living, breathing factory, all sound tracked by whirring robots and punishing presses, was certainly an environment unfamiliar to me and most of my colleagues on the tour.
