Antalis has confirmed Nicholas Thompson as its managing director for the UK and Ireland, effective 1 July, 2023.
Mr Thompson has previously been with Antalis for over nine years, more recently as its packaging director and prior to that as the company’s supply chain director. He has spent a short period of time as deputy managing director before taking over from David Hunter, who is retiring from the business.
Antalis noted that this promotion positions Mr Thompson to help with future growth and innovation at the company using his background at the business and from previous supply chain roles at Tesco, Sainsburys and Amazon.
Mr Thompson said, ‘It is a great honour to be leading the team at Antalis and to take over from David, who has professionally overseen the many changes that the company has undertaken over the last eleven years. I intend to lead Antalis through the next phase of evolution, including strengthening its papers division and accelerating the growth in packaging and visual communications.
‘Understanding the many challenges that our customers face is imperative. We will be building on all the good work that has taken place recently including the development of Antalis’ sustainability strategy and environmental solutions that help our customers to achieve their own sustainability goals. Other top priorities for the business will be driving digital transformation and maintaining the company’s priority on health, safety and well-being.’
