Cromwell appoints commercial manager

Hall brings 22 years’ experience in the packaging industry. He has worked in sales for the past five years, first with Intelipac, where he was responsible for a range of high volume imported polythene and paper packaging items, developing sales of £12m in three years and then with BPI, where he managed and developed retail customers, introduced a premium quality range of recycled polythene refuse sacks and looked after retail sales.

Prior to that he headed up the purchasing department at Bunzl, managing a £150m budget. During his early career he spent 14 years in the purchasing department of major grocery retailer Morrisons, where he managed the optimisation of own brand packaging specifications.

Cromwell’s MD James Lee said: “I have known Alistair since he worked in Morrisons’ packaging division. His management and industry experience will be invaluable in strengthening and building on our position as one of the leading polythene companies in the UK and I am confident that he will make a significant contribution to Cromwell’s management team.”
