New operations manager - Mark Bibby

Mark has nearly 38 years’ experience in the corrugated packaging industry where he’s worked in a variety of large and slightly smaller sized businesses across a range of different roles. His career started at apprentice level in production, and he worked his way up to shift and team leader, before moving into various management roles, which has given him a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of the manufacturing process across the whole business.

He left his last employer in September before the role at Belmont Packaging came up with perfect timing.

So far, Mark is enjoying bringing in new processes and looking after the production side of the business. He’s also excited about the future investment taking place at the site and the opportunities for the business to grow. “There are great opportunities here to make a difference to the production side of the business and build on the strong foundations already established. The team have a brilliant dynamic and I’m looking forward to driving site wide improvements and building team morale further.”

Mark is married, with two grown up children and two stepchildren. In his spare time, he’s enjoying rediscovering his treadmill which was neglected last year due to a knee injury, and he enjoys playing golf. He has been part of a golf society for 13 years and plays a different course in the North West every other week.

He also enjoys travelling and will be heading to Mauritius in April. He’s definitely not a cruise person! His favourite place to visit is Phuket where he loves the culture, people, beaches and not forgetting the beer!

The Belmont Packaging team are delighted to welcome Mark onboard. With his wealth of experience combined with his skills and enthusiasm he’s a real asset to the operations team.
