UK-based manufacturer of high-quality folding cartons Reelvision Print has appointed Stuart Beeson as its new managing director.

With a 30-year career in the printing and packaging industry, Mr Beeson joins at a pivotal time following the company’s 2024 acquisition by Woodberry Packaging Group, as it looks to capitalise on its one-pass flexo production capabilities and expand its market reach. His appointment brings experience in international sales growth and technical expertise in print processes to the company’s Haslingden site, the company said.

Mr Beeson commented: “I am delighted to have joined Reelvision Print at such an instrumental stage of its journey. Having spent decades in the print industry, I admire Reelvision’s agility, and its dedication to the rigorous standards of the pharmaceutical and healthcare markets and am incredibly excited to lead this talented team as we embrace new digital technologies and focus on delivering even greater value to our customers during this period of growth.”

Mark Kerridge, chairman of Woodberry Packaging, said the group acquired Reelvision Print “to complement its existing portfolio and bolster its presence in the UK healthcare and pharma sectors,” adding that the appointment of a dedicated managing director was a key part of its long-term strategy.

He added: “Stuart’s proven track record of strategic leadership and his customer-centric approach mirror the values of the Woodberry Group perfectly, and this is an exciting time for everyone involved as we look to build on Reelvision’s reputation for speed and quality.”

Under Mr Beeson’s leadership, Reelvision Print said it will continue to focus on its “fastest route to market” promise while exploring further investments in digital integration and structural design to meet the evolving needs of its client base.
