In his new role as Production Manager, Gabriel Ciubotariu will initially focus on production performance, ensuring the production plan is executed on a daily basis as well as managing staffing on the shopfloor. Gabriel has considerable experience in production management having formerly worked for many years in packaging. Gabriel joins from Welton & Bibby in Westbury and previously worked for many years in corrugated packaging with Westbury packaging and Ecopack in Romania

Andrew Woollard, Group CEO, comments: “I am delighted both Vince and Gabriel have joined us in Exeter at this very exciting period in our business development, where we are increasing our production capabilities to service our customers in the region. They both bring a wealth of fantastic ‘hands on’ technical knowledge, expertise and manufacturing experience and will be great assets to our business.”
