    Some people just work. We do packaging, with passion. And if you’ve got the drive, that’ll take you further than you could ever have imagined.

    We’re a family business, with big ambition. That means the very heart of us is supportive and collaborative, with a fast-paced, future-thinking approach. It seems to work for our team; that’s why many of them have been with us for over ten years.

    So if you’re ready for a career in a thriving, dynamic and friendly environment, our door is open. Come right in.

    Duo DNA

    DUO DNA: By the team, for the team

    Most companies ‘values ‘ are defined by a stuffy board that’s never worked a day on the floor. That’s not really our style.

    Here’s our Duo DNA: values decided on by our very own team. After all, it’s because of their outstanding effort that we’ve achieved everything we have since we started in 1988. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.

    Our Values

    Passionate

    From management heads, to temporary line staff, there’s not one person here who isn’t passionate about what we do for our customers every day, and what we could achieve together in the future.

    Training & Development

    It’d be easy to say we’re passionate about our people. But it’s easier to see why training and developing them works. Put simply, who wouldn’t want a team of engaged, talented people? A team of people who have careers that fulfil them, and help them grow. We don’t invest in training because it’s just a buzz word. We know it makes an enormous difference to how successful we are, and how successful our people feel in return.
