Cromwell Polythene, the specialist supplier of sacks, bags and speciality products for the storage and collection of waste and recyclables, has appointed Alex Lee as a Sales Executive.
Alex, the middle son of Managing Director, James and company secretary Debbie, is joining his two brothers, Angus and Henry, as part of the 37-strong Cromwell team. He previously worked in sales in the software industry.
Alex will also manage the relaunch of Cromwell’s free polythene recovery service, which returns clean polythene packaging to the production cycle. Used polythene is collected from its customers on a back-load basis, for recycling. This keeps the resource in the economy and saves virgin materials in line with the principles of the circular economy and reducing landfill. Benefits for customers include reduction of waste disposal costs and regular reporting of packaging returns for recycling. Customers with larger volumes of used packaging are paid for their baled polythene film.
Alex said: “I’m excited to be joining Cromwell Polythene at a time of great change and growth for the company. I also relish the challenges and opportunities that are being presented to the industry as we work together on an ambitious set of targets, doing our bit to help the capture and containment of waste resources, as the UK works towards a more circular economy. It gives me great pleasure to be working towards these goals alongside my immediate family members and as part of the wider Cromwell family.”
A redesigned website will launch in early 2019, with fresh content and images, highlighting how the company’s products can help make the world cleaner, greener, and more economical. The website will also include a series of instructional videos showing products in operation.
James Lee said: “Our business is thriving, and we have exciting plans to grow it extensively over the next few years. As part of those plans, we’re delighted to welcome Alex to the team. We’re proud of our family heritage and values, so it’s great to now have all my family working with our valued team to achieve the company’s vision for resource efficiency.”
