Business Development Director, Paper & Packaging
Mike Gibson
Joined the company
July 2025
I started in the UK packaging industry in the 90’s in paper & plastic carrier bags, I have also worked in the corrugate industry, food packaging, I lived and worked in France for 3 years and more recently returned from USA where I was VP of Sales for a anilox role company, so I have always been around paper and print, so joining James Cropper seemed a logical move and I am excited to be here.
