VERTICALLY INTEGRATED
We operate from two sites: our paper mill division in Lancaster producing recycled paper grades and our converting and warehousing facilities in Telford. Between these two sites we own and control every part of the manufacturing, converting, logistics and sales process. We operate our own distribution service to ensure maximum control over the delivery of the product and so maintain our reputation for reliability.
INDEPENDENT
Today, whilst rapidly growing in size over the past thirty years we’re still a privately-owned company employing 150 staff at our sites in Lancaster and Telford and our success can be measured by our ability to retain the personal touch that defines our no-nonsense attitude to customer service.
