Kite Packaging is an employee-owned business, based on the idea of mutual interest. Employees are able to buy shares in the company, thereby creating a sense of ownership. The company’s founders wanted their staff to be motivated and engaged, so they set up an employee-ownership model.

Employee-owned business

Kite Packaging is an employee-owned business that has grown to PS30 million in turnover in the past decade. The company believes that its people are its competitive advantage, which is why it encourages employees to buy shares and provide benefits such as health plans and pensions. It also runs a graduate and apprentice program every year.

Kite Packaging was founded in 2001, and is a true Employee-owned company. In 2018, it was included in the London Stock Exchange’s top 1000 list. Founders Craig Humphrey and Geoffrey Robinson visited the company and were full of praise. The company has grown rapidly, and the company is now expanding geographically.

The company offers a wide range of packaging solutions and machinery for businesses. It also offers dedicated e-commerce platforms. With over two thousand products in stock, the company offers a seamless online experience.

Product-neutral

Carbon neutrality is a major goal for Kite Packaging Group Limited. Its carbon offsets for the current year will be verified by Carbon Neutral Britain. Emissions from businesses fall into two categories: Scope 1 and Scope 2. The former involves direct emissions from the business; the latter is offset for emissions from third-party couriers that make outbound deliveries.

To achieve carbon neutrality, companies must ensure that their carbon emissions do not increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This harmful gas causes climate change and extreme weather events. As an employee-owned company, Kite is dedicated to helping the environment. It has committed to becoming carbon neutral in Scopes 1 and 2 by the year 2021.

To achieve this, Kite has developed a range of eco-friendly and product-neutral packaging solutions. These include simple cardboard boxes, stretch films, bubble wraps, and polythene and paper bags. It is proud to maintain its product-neutrality by offering a wide variety of packaging types.

Fast-growing online business

The demand for e-commerce packaging is on the rise. In addition to demanding same-day and next-day delivery, modern consumers have increasingly high expectations for sustainable packaging and business practices. Often, these two values are conflicting, but Kite Packaging’s specialized solutions can help companies achieve these goals.

In addition to offering a wide range of packaging products, Kite is also a leading supplier of packaging materials, with a UK-wide branch network and specially trained packaging technologists. This makes Kite a one-stop-shop for packaging materials. The business is focused on the needs of its customers and has a strong online presence.

The growing popularity of eCommerce in the UK is driving the need for high-quality, efficient fulfilment. With the growth of smartphones, ecommerce sales grew 16% in 2016 in the UK, and that figure is expected to grow even further in 2017. In order to keep up with this growth, eCommerce companies must implement efficient warehouse processes and improve overall quality, which can increase customer satisfaction and retention.

UK-wide branch network

Kite Packaging is a UK-wide packaging supplier with regional branch offices throughout the UK. The company is an employee-owned business that provides packaging solutions, environmental compliance services, and an ecommerce offering. Since it was founded in 2001, Kite has experienced significant growth. According to the London Stock Exchange Group, successful small companies can increase their revenue and employment by 50 per cent per year. These companies often focus on innovation and creating high-skilled jobs.

Kite Packaging was founded in 2001 by a group of entrepreneurs who saw a need for high-quality packaging and innovative packaging solutions. These entrepreneurs invested their own money to establish the company. Today, the company is a privately-owned company, and every employee is entitled to join the company’s shareholder scheme after six months. In addition, profits from the business are reinvested to boost growth. The company has been recognized as one of the top 1000 companies in the United Kingdom by the London Stock Exchange.

The company’s online presence has increased substantially over the last five years, and web sales have surpassed traditional branch sales. The company has been covered by LIMA since 2012, and has implemented several IT projects to improve its overall infrastructure. The company was relying on external data centres and virtualised services for its production environment, but these were not working optimally. LIMA evaluated the company’s infrastructure and reworked it to increase its reliability, resilience, and security.
