Jim Jackson, our factory manager has clocked up an amazing 35 years’ service with the business!

Jim joined the business in 1987 and has since seen a few different owners and many changes to the way corrugated packaging is made.

His first job after leaving school was here at Red Rose, where he began his career in packaging as a machine operator. During his 35 years Jim has pretty much done every job within the production department of Red Rose Packaging. It’s fair to say there’s not much about making corrugated packaging that Jim doesn’t know!

Jim commented; “Red Rose is a great place to work, and the people make it such a special place to spend your days and earn your living. I can’t believe I’ve been here 35 years; here’s to the next 35!”

During Jim’s career to date the face of the packaging industry has changed considerably as technology and computerisation has given the industry ever growing capabilities.

Sharon Garner, Director of Red Rose Packaging commented; “Jim is an absolute legend and a key part of our senior team. His packaging expertise is second to none, and he’s a superb role model to our younger team members who see how hard he works and the passion that he brings, to ensure we always do our very best. Congratulations Jim on 35 years!”
