The appointment reflects the strategic importance of the region to VPK, with multiple sites serving customers across various sectors, including FMCG, beverage, retail, and e-commerce, through locally produced, sustainable corrugated packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The UK & Ireland continues to be a key growth market for the Group, and VPK Group continues to invest in people, plant, and partnerships to strengthen domestic manufacturing and supply chain resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Martin brings more than 25 years of senior leadership experience across food, fresh produce, dairy, and packaging sectors, with a strong background in multi-site operations, manufacturing leadership, and business transformation. His career spans both operational and commercial roles, giving him a deep understanding of how manufacturing, service, and customer needs must work together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Patrick Leclercq, Divisional CEO Corrugated Board at VPK Group, said: \u201cMartin is a highly experienced leader with a deep understanding of manufacturing, operations, and customer-focused growth. His experience across food and packaging, combined with his people-first leadership style, makes him ideally placed to lead our UK & Ireland business into its next phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe UK & Ireland is a strategically important region for VPK, and Martin\u2019s appointment reinforces our commitment to investing locally and building strong, long-term partnerships with our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Martin\u2019s appointment reflects VPK\u2019s ongoing investment in the UK & Ireland as an important region for the Group.

Martin added: \u201cI am delighted to be joining VPK at such an exciting time for the business. VPK has a strong reputation for manufacturing excellence, sustainability, and customer focus. I would also like to recognise the work Paul Barber has done as Interim Managing Director, supporting the business and its people through this period and helping ensure a smooth transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to building on that foundation, working closely with the teams across the UK & Ireland to support our customers\u2019 growth and ensure VPK continues to be a trusted partner for the long term.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
