Flexible packaging specialist Roberts Mart has recruited a group operations director to drive growth in the food and drink sector.
Simon Plomer-Roberts, who has over 20 years’ experience in the packaging industry, said: “I aim to restructure the business and ensure that the right people are in the right positions to support the business as I see it.”
The family-run firm, which moved into its 10,000m purpose-built Leeds factory in the autumn. produces packaging for the household, textile, retail and healthcare sectors. It sees the ‘highly demanding’ food and drink arena as key for its future growth.
“Hiring externally meant we could benefit from a fresh outlook and a new approach,” said chairman and group managing director John Roberts.
