INTERVIEW
WHY NILORN
Whilst working for the N Brown group I was instrumental in appointing Nilorn as the nominated supplier. The experience was very positive as the company’s values came across very early in the relationship from the salesperson on the account, John Ford, through to the caring and diligent work from design and the internal sales staff. This is a company that I am proud to be a small part of and I hope to exemplify the values that I recognised during my time at N Brown. My aim is to help build on the growth of Nilorn’s packaging business by supporting the sales people across the group with my knowledge and experience. I hope to both grow our existing and gain new customers by proving that we are the ‘go-to’ supplier for new, innovative and sustainable packaging.

My favourite book would have to be ‘Old Puckoon’ by Spike Milligan. It is one of the funniest insights into his life as a young boy. It is written with great clarity to put you into the situations he describes.
