Welcome

The packaging sector continues to thrive, with new products and innovation centre-stage. Our 30-page special reflects this – and it was a pleasure talking to those businesses making a significant impact not just in the UK, but globally. Our meats special examines exciting trends, providing in-depth analysis to help all operators. While the countdown continues to the biggest night in our industry – the Sammies awards. It’s 9 May, just in case it wasn’t in your diary!

Cheers!
