Mark Kerridge is now a non-executive director of Americk Packaging.
Former Benson Group CEO, Mark Kerridge, will strengthen Americk Packaging’s boardroom as non-executive director by bringing over 30 years’ experience in senior positions to the company.
During his tenure at The Benson Group Mr Kerridge led the business from a £10m turnover to the eventual sale to Graphic Packaging International with a £120m sales revenue in 2014. Mr Kerridge’s appointment to Americk follows the recruitment of Josephine Morgan as group retail director and the recent expansion of the Flexibles Division to a site over three times the size of the existing location.
CEO Patrick Doran commented, ‘This announcement comes at an exciting time for Americk Packaging. Our business operates from six sites all contributing specialist expertise in cartons, produce packaging, flexibles, reel-fed labels and self-adhesive label manufacturing. Our focus is now to bring all our operations under a single brand identity in order to capitalise on our strengths and collective expertise. Ultimately adding value to our growing customer base throughout Europe.’ He added, ‘I am extremely pleased Mark is joining Americk Packaging as his knowledge and experience will be invaluable as we continue on our path to growth.’
‘Patrick Doran’s enthusiasm for the business is clear and I am looking forward to supporting the management team in realising the potential for Americk Packaging,’ said Mr Kerridge.
