Retail packing outfit aims to treble in size

My Pack Comoany, the Barnsley-based providers of packing services to the retail industry, are aiming to treble in size.

The firm is moving from a 3,500 sq ft operation at Redrock Business Park to 40,000 sg ft unit at Dodworth, following growth prompted by increased demand in the charity cards sector.

Only in its fourth year My Pack Company employs seven full time staff and around 30 seasonal staff.

Director Alex Miller said: “We will be based alongside A Davies Transport which is a haulage company and there’s a great synergy between the two companies.

“At present we also have an operation in Oxfordshire but we’re bringing everything under one roof in Barnsley, which will further increase our capacity and efficiency.

The firm have received support from Barnsley Business and Innovation Centre (BBIC) through the Enterprising Barnsley programme, with funding from Barnsley Council.

Kevin Steel, business development manager at Barnsley Business and Innovation Centre (BBIC) which is managing the programme, said: “The growth at My Pack Company has been nothing short of remarkable. The support offered by BBIC through the Enterprising Barnsley programme has enabled My Pack Company to improve its marketing and communicate its range of services to a wider audience.

“Part of our role is to introduce businesses and facilitate business relationships. I introduced MyPack to A Davies Transport and the relationship is already looking promising.

“The opportunity for further growth is very evident and this is a tremendously exciting time for the business.”
