      I work with people who have invented something new, or better or quicker, in the laboratory and help them make sure that it will work on the chemical factory. I have to make sure that the recipe is right and then everything works when it is so much bigger.
      We have our own little factory to test things before the big factory try it out, just to make sure that if there any problems it doesn’t break the big factory (because it costs ninety million pounds).
