New Appointment Further Increases Niche Packaging Business at Boxes Edson

Boxes Edson, the expanding healthcare and pharmaceutical packaging arm of The Boxes Group, is exploring new market opportunities with the appointment of Martin Street as UK Business Development Manager.

As part of its strategic growth plan, the Watford-based division will be focusing on increasing its business potential by further extending its reputation for outstanding service and flexibility - whatever the size of company.

On his appointment, Martin Street said: “The number of packaging suppliers to the pharmaceutical industry has greatly reduced over the last few years through mergers and acquisitions. The largest of these suppliers are concentrating almost exclusively on multi-national companies and service and flexibility can be overlooked when volume is the prime concern.

”The Boxes Group is large enough to meet the needs of today’s pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors but is still of a size to be able to provide a first class flexible service centred on individual customer needs.”

Martin joins Boxes Edson from M.Y.Healthcare and has more than 20 years experience in printed folded cartons, the last 14 within the pharmaceutical and healthcare sector.

Managing Director, Phil Spencer, added: “Martin is a valuable addition to the Boxes team and brings with him a pedigree of successful sales to the UK healthcare markets. He is highly respected within the industry and believes in exceptional customer service - a concept that is embraced within The Boxes Group.”

The Boxes Group, with a turnover in excess of £50m, consists of seven specialist companies and majors on product presentation in a wide range of fields from innovative luxury cartons for cosmetics manufacturers to specialist cartons for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries. Boxes Imaging is the reprographics arm of the Group, providing a complete design and plate-making service. The business operates from five sites throughout the UK and is part of Clondalkin, the international printing and packaging products specialist.

Clondalkin has recently acquired Frievaart Holdings BV, the holding company of the European Packaging Holding Group.  Frievaart Holdings consists of three subsiduaries in the Netherlands which will give a European flavour to the Boxes Group.
