Glossop Cartons has appointed Wayne Fitzpatrick as its new sales director, taking over from Jacky Sidebottom-Every, who has become joint managing director. In his new role, Mr Fitzpatrick will be responsible for handling some of the firm’s key accounts, which span food and drink, vape and household, as well as pharmaceutical and personal care sectors across both blue-chip and SME accounts.
His appointment is part of the packaging manufacturer’s wider plan to invest in its management team in order to enable the company to achieve further growth via the acquisition of additional industry expertise and the generation of opportunities for company directors to focus on corporate strategy. Mr Fitzpatrick brings with him over 25 years’ experience of the packaging sector, joining from Mayr-Melnhof Packaging where he was sales director.
‘Glossop Cartons has an excellent reputation,’ explained Mr Fitzpatrick. ‘Not only for creating innovative and sustainable packaging solutions, but also for its strong customer focused service, and I’m proud to be representing the company among its key clients.’
‘Glossop Cartons is an ambitious business and we’re pleased to welcome Wayne to the team,’ added Mrs Sidebottom-Every. ‘With his experience, skills and attributes, I have no doubt that, as I take up the strategic position of joint managing director, the role of sales director is in safe hands.’
