National Careers Week – Abby Melling
As National Careers Week gets underway we meet one our new apprentices, Abby Melling.
Abby is our Transport Administration Apprentice and is based at our Preston site.
Abby joined the team just over 3 months ago and is a welcome addition, making a difference to the transport department at this site.
Meet the Team – Terry Cooke
Just a couple of months ago we welcomed Terry Cooke to the team as our Group Customer Services Manager.
Before joining Board24, Terry held an Operations Management role for ERIKS, a major engineering distributor, looking after major accounts such as Saint-Gobain, Hanson Cement and Ibstock Brick.
Part of his role was being involved in the World Class Manufacturing programme, helping to design and implement an industry leading Engineering Stores Model across multiple sites, supporting reliability and overall equipment effectiveness improvements in 24/7 manufacturing operations.
Celebrating our apprenticeship achievements
As National Apprenticeship Week is taking place, we thought it pertinent to celebrate our past and present apprentices and the way that Board24 supports them to achieve their very best potential.
Apprenticeships were introduced to Board24 in 2022 and since then we have had over 25 apprentices, some of whom are still completing their qualifications, and many who have successfully completed the training schemes we offered them to become fully qualified members of our team.
Celebrating one year of Eurocentral
Just one year ago the excitement was palpable as we started the first day’s production at our brand new site in Scotland, Eurocentral.
It replaced our site at Larkhall, and all production and our people transferred to Eurocentral. It was a huge milestone in the history of Board24 and corrugated board production in the UK.
Meet The Team – Andrew Douglas
Andrew Douglas recently joined Board24 as Health and Safety Advisor for the Coalville site. Andrew believes everyone should go home at the end of their working day in the same state of health as when they arrived. His role helps to ensure that this is the case.
The Year Ahead for Board24 and the Corrugated Industry
As we move further into the 21st century, reflecting on the progress and challenges of the last 25 years underscores the transformative impact of technology and shifting global priorities. Among these changes, the corrugated packaging industry has thrived, driven by growing awareness of the environmental consequences of hard-to-recycle materials and single-use plastics. In the face of ongoing political and economic uncertainty, Frank Hay, Group Managing Director at Board24, shares his insights into what 2025 holds for the corrugated industry and the pivotal role Board24 is set to play.
