Employer Description:
We make corrugated cardboard boxes and postal packaging. Most companies would need 3 machines and 9 people to produce what we make on 1 machine with 3 people. All our products are made using FSC certified corrugated cardboard. All our electricity is renewable and in 2025 we will have solar panels installed on the roof of our building. We don’t use any gas or diesel. We don’t make products the way others do, so the company isn’t the same either. We are a banter first company. Without the ability to have fun, smile and engage with each other how can we enjoy coming to work, and identify if something is wrong. No employee does just one task, we are all multi-skilled.
