Adam Jones

My day-to-day involves driving strategic business development, tackling problems head-on, and mastering financial management and analysis. In short, I’m the go-to guy for crunching numbers and leading our incredible team.

Joanne Davies
Operations Director
My mission is to ensure our operations run seamlessly, from managing customer relationships and overseeing purchasing to coordinating with suppliers and handling stock management.
I’d love to say I’m good at everything, but my real strength lies in building strong relationships with our employees and suppliers. By fostering these connections, I make our processes smooth and efficient, ensuring everything ticks along perfectly. If there’s a way to streamline operations and enhance collaboration, I’m on it!
Alex Jackson
Sales and Marketing Director
I’m passionate about connecting with our customers to find the best solutions for their needs. I handle the day-to-day marketing activities while also guiding our customers through every step—from the initial enquiry to after-sales support—with tailored advice that truly makes a difference.
When I’m not busy helping customers or crafting marketing strategies, you’ll probably find me with my nose in a book, or out on a hike!
Natalie Davies
QEHS Manager
I keep things running smoothly by maintaining our management systems for ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, and FSC certifications. I also work closely with our Operations Director, making sure the day-to-day operations are on point.
Managing and maintaining these systems? That’s my bread and butter. It’s all about keeping everything in top shape, so our business runs like a well-oiled machine.
When I’m not busy at work, you’ll probably find me making everyone in the office laugh, or enjoying a good book and quality time with my family!
Andrew Lucy
Warehouse and Production Manager
I like to think of myself as a bit of a jack of all trades here. When I’m not fixing things, I’m focused on health and safety or keeping production running smoothly.
If there’s anything related to manufacturing and production developments, I’m your guy.
When I’m not at work, you’ll probably find me out on two wheels—whether it’s tearing up the trails on a mountain bike or cruising on my motorbike!
Kate Wickens
Sales and Admin Co-Ordinator
From processing orders to overseeing despatch, I’m the go-to person for responding to customer queries and making sure everything runs smoothly.
I like to think of myself as the person who gives our customers a little extra peace of mind—ensuring that from the initial sale right through to despatch, they’re in safe hands.
When I’m not at work, you’ll likely find me binge-watching a great series on Netflix or enjoying time with family and friends.
Simon Morris
Sustainable Packaging Development Lead
Sustainability is at the heart of everything I do. My role revolves around developing products that are not only effective but also kind to the planet. Whether it’s conducting lifecycle assessments or rigorous product testing, I’m all about finding sustainable solutions.
When I’m not busy at work, you’ll probably catch me playing water polo, climbing, or cycling. Fun fact: I even chatted with Helen Skelton about water polo on Radio 5 Live!
Anne Smith
Accounts Administrator
I’m all about keeping our accounts running like clockwork. Whether it’s managing supplier invoices and payments or handling customer invoices and credit control, I’ve got it covered.
With over 30 years of experience in various roles, my expertise ensures you’re always in safe hands.
When I’m not at work, you’ll find me enjoying a walk with my dog, baking up a storm, getting creative with dressmaking, or practicing mindfulness—a passion I deepened after studying a course just before lockdown.
