Warren, the independent carton board, graphical board and paper stockist, is entering 2017 with the celebration of its Ruby anniversary, marking the occasion of its 40th year of trading as an independent, privately owned company. By way of a birthday gift, members of Warren’s external Sales Team have been distributing a little chocolate treat to customers in celebration of the company’s special occassion. Warren has had some special 50gm milk chocolate bars which have been wrapped in a Warren personalised sleeve as a give-away to its customers. The milk chocolate bar wrappers have been printed on LumiArt 115 gsm, supplied by StoraEnso.
Warren opened its doors for business back in 1976, when its Chairman Barry Pincott, at the age of 29, made the decision to set up his own business. Having met Anne Ferguson some years earlier, he asked Anne to join him in the new venture and the business partnership was formed. As a business, Warren has thrived and prospered over the past years, but not without the dramas, tribulations and upheavals that have been witnessed within the paper and board industry.
But there have also been some less challenging occasions, with the exciting additions to its business of the new paper division along with the acquisition of its converter facility in the West Midlands, as well as a logistics partnership and new liveried vehicles. More recently the industry has also had to contend with the uncertainty of what Brexit will deliver and mean for the paper and board sector in the UK.
Commenting on the 40th anniversary of Warren, its Chairman, Barry Pincott said, “It’s great to be celebrating 40 years in business – our Ruby Anniversary – and it’s all thanks to our wonderful staff most of whom have been with us over 20 years. Here’s to the next 40 years!”
