A GROUP of Swedish visitors met the Mr Big on a visit to Accrington!
Product manager Hakan Molden and fellow representatives from Stora Paperboard had to look up to Hambledon Studios finishing manager Laurence Okelo, who stands at 6ft 8in, as he conducted them around and appropriately showed them the firm's biggest greetings card.
The Swedes saw their products turned into greetings cards. The firm, which employs more 500 people, manufactures 200 million cards a year.
