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.
