Glossop Cartons has invested in its management team yet again, with the appointment of a new operations director.

Dave Bartlett brings with him nearly 40 years of experience of the packaging and print sector, joining from Trenton Box where he was also operations director. Previously, he was plant director at Contact Print and Packaging, where he worked for 25 years, and the assets of which Glossop Cartons acquired in 2015.

In his new role, Mr Bartlett is responsible for directing operations, driving the efficient, cost-effective and environmentally sustainable manufacture and delivery of orders. He also ensures that members of the production team are highly motivated and fully trained.

His appointment is part of Glossop Cartons’ 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 allow joint managing directors, Jacky Sidebottom-Every and Brian Sidebottom, to focus on corporate strategy. This has already been realised trough the appointment of Wayne Fitzpatrick as sales director.

Glossop Cartons’ joint managing director Jacky Sidebottom-Every said, ‘Dave brings with him a wealth of experience and knowledge of the print and packaging sector, and as such, he will support Glossop Cartons in the next stage of its development.’
