The Williams Formula One team — whose drivers Juan Pablo Montoya and Ralf Schumacher finished third and fourth in this year's World Drivers' Championship — has their meat delivered all over the globe in specially designed EPS insulation boxes.

f1 racing car"It's difficult for racing teams to get top quality meat as they travel around the Formula 1 circuit," says Simon Smith of Coventry butchers Aubrey Allen, which supplies the Williams' team.

"This packaging means we can prepare the best meat products in the UK, seal them in boxes with ice blankets and forward them to the caterers who deliver to tracks from Monza to Monte Carlo".

The boxes, which are supplied by Styropack, have also been used by Aubrey Allen to send meat to the England football team and to TV celebrity chefs, including Rick Stein.
