Fertiliser factory considers relocating after fire

From Morning Report, 8:28 am on 10 October 2018

Engineers will today assess the damage to a large fertiliser factory in Christchurch after a major fire ripped through part of the building yesterday. The blaze, at the Ravensdown factory in Hornby, sent black smoke billowing across the city, sparking health alerts, and causing traffic chaos as police cordoned off roads. Management and staff are meeting today to discuss whether production will be shifted to other parts of the country. The company's chief executive is Greg Campbell. He talks to Guyon Espiner.
