Eleanor Stewart has joined us for 2 weeks on work placement after winning a Cravendale competition last year.

 

‘The Cravendale Future Milk competition was to redesign the milk bottle for the future.

Night and the City

The results will be exhibited in two weeks time (see here for details on how to win VIP tickets: www.aliveatnight.co.uk) and until then, here's some pictures of the man at work.

The night began at dusk at the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel.
