The culture at the company this year was to become a priority; nurturing hard work, rewarding achievements, and working towards a collective ambition to become the leading independent sheet feeding specialist in the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ.
Looking back to the company’s rebrand in March, Rob explains what impact the changes have had. He commented: “CorrBoard º£½ÇÊÓÆµ is a great business with big ambition. When I joined, I could see that we needed to start a new chapter and to give everyone the opportunity to join us, collectively, on this journey.
“We managed the rebrand of the business, changing the perception of the brand both internally and externally; provided workwear for all colleagues to instill a sense of pride in the team; issued a pay rise, above and beyond becoming a living wage employer, in recognition of the hard work of the whole team; and provided a benefits package to include access to private healthcare.
“The same attention was given to our customers, as we looked at ways in which we could improve our service and build on the relationships we had in place. I’m pleased to say, that although difficult at times, our collective hard work is paying off.”
A sustainable shift
In addition to the efforts made to unite the company, CorrBoard º£½ÇÊÓÆµ also made it a priority to share its story with others.
Entering national and regional awards to focus on the company’s sustainability efforts, in particular the intrinsic partnership with CorrBoard Bioenergy, a £7m anaerobic digestion facility adjacent to the factory, the business is now a multi-award-winning organisation.
Rob continued: “Sustainability is one of three priorities for us. As well as gaining the acknowledgement and recognition that the team deserves, we also want to send out a clear message that manufacturing practices can change to reduce our collective impact on the environment.
Sharing success to inspire others
“The reality is that it’s far too easy to use the pressures that we all face as an excuse. We want to share our experiences, our learnings, and our successes so that others can follow.
“That’s one of the reasons that we have joined Team Lincolnshire and also Humber Marine and Renewables. Extending our network and being proactive is the only way that we are going to have the opportunity to explain the investment, time and commitment it’s taken to put in place a truly sustainable manufacturing process that will deliver a circular economy.
“What’s more, it also provides us with a platform to share the excitement and success we have experienced as a result.”
