David Mason
Sales Director | GWP Packaging
David is Sales Director for GWP Packaging, having originally joined the company (then Great Western Packaging) back in 1990.
Now responsible for management of key accounts at GWP Packaging, along with overseeing the sales strategy for the corrugated aspect of the business, he has a wealth of knowledge and expertise with all forms of transit, retail and protective packaging.
This knowledge has helped to grow the overall GWP group into a £12 million business, whilst maintaining a family feel and hands on approach with our customers both large and small.
Besides his love of packaging, David also enjoys travelling, shouting at his kids and (unfortunately for him) following West Bromwich Albion.
