Specialist corrugating company, BCP Fluted Packaging have announced a major restructure within their business as they target future growth.

The owner Brian Jones, who has guided the business through a period of recovery and then significant growth since acquiring the business in 1999, has appointed Alan McAulay as Managing Director and he moves to the position of Chairman. Alan joined BCP in 2008 as Sales Director and he will continue to oversee the commercial team as part of his expanded responsibilities.

The Company has strengthened the Board still further with the recruitment of Con Shea who returns to BCP after a period of six years at Contego Packaging’s Coburn Fields plant.

Brian Jones stated that he was standing back from the day to day management in order to focus on the continued strategic growth.  “We are about to launch an innovative patent protected Sign and Display Board concept that is lightweight and provides the benefits of foam centred board that is totally recyclable, extremely stable and, unlike foam, is suitable for die cutting.  This latest development reflects how important innovation is to our success and having a strong management in place provides me with the comfort and knowledge that I can look more to the challenges of the future than the issues of today”.

With more companies and consumers looking for companies who can meet their needs by manufacturing goods using sustainably sourced materials, BCP can now offer greener credentials having just been awarded the Chain of Custody Certificate endorsed by the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) – indicating that its purchasing policy complies with international sustainability recommendations.

The FSC and the PEFC are international organisations who promote responsible stewardship of the world’s forests. Chain of Custody Certification means that BCP has actively demonstrated a continued commitment to purchasing paper from a sustainable source.

‘BCP are very proud to achieve this status as we feel very strongly about our environmental responsibilities’ said Alan Leeming, BCP’s Technical and Purchasing Director. ‘Each stage of our production process from raw materials to processing, manufacturing and transporting, now meet FSC standards and requirements’.

Companies that have been independently verified for FSC and PEFC Chain of Custody certification are eligible to label their products with both logos.
