New appointment
at GWP Packaging

Wessex Chambers
goes all “Oh là là”

Cricklade-based GWP Packing has further boosted its sales
team with the appointment of Ian Wilmer.
Ian has more than 10 years’ experience in sales roles with
businesses in the region. He will be focusing on growing
GWP’s customer base in the Bristol and M5 region, and
introducing existing customers to the full range of GWP
products available from
the newly expanded
GWP Group.
Ian said: “It’s great to
be working for such an
interesting packaging
business that has such
ambitious plans for
the future. The recent
introduction of GWP’s
new Correx Division gives
me opportunity to sell the
full range of GWP Group products from across all GWP’s
divisions as well as to expand GWP’s corrugated business
into a wider geographic region”.

My English is improving all the time and I’m learning
some key skills too. I recommend more students take
part in international work experience placements.
They’re invaluable.”
