Tork staff polish off a new world record

Staff at SCA Tissue Europe’s head office set a new world record when they polished a car using Tork 530 multipurpose cloths.

The vehicle involved was a Formula One car – and a total of 63 employees worked on it at once. This earned the staff a place in the Guinness World Records as the largest group of people ever to polish a Formula One car at a time.

“We found out there was a record there to break - and that it would be a fun one to do,” said SCA Tissue Europe’s marketing communications co-ordinator Jamie Wright. “It was quite an achievement and it created a great sense of team spirit within the office.”

The entire staff of SCA Tissue Europe’s Dunstable head office participated in the record-breaking event, which was staged in the run-up to a new industrial launch due to take place in April. A Formula One car was brought into the Horwood House Hotel near Milton Keynes where the event was staged and a Guinness World Records adjudicator monitored the proceedings.

Staff had to work on the same part of the car’s bodywork for a full minute in order to earn their place in the record books.

“Our name will appear in the Guinness World Records later in the year and meanwhile we have a certificate on our office wall to prove we did it,” said Jamie.

Full details of the new industrial launch will be revealed in the April edition of What’s New at
