Jay Daggar
Sales Manager | GWP Packaging
After initially studying for a Foundation Degree in Art & Design, Jay was part of the now famous Packaging Design course at Swindon College / Cranfield University. Studying between 2000 and 2002, this means Jay’s knowledge of packaging stretches back almost 2 decades!
After a four year spell working for retail giants Next, Jay initially joined GWP Packaging as a Sales Executive in mid-2008, before becoming Sales Manager in September 2011. In total, Jay has worked for GWP for over 10 years, covering Swindon, Wiltshire and the surrounding geographical area.
In this time Jay has built up a loyal customer base thanks to his enthusiasm, exceptional corrugated cardboard material knowledge, and understanding of what makes successful packaging.
Outside of work Jay enjoys socialising, eating out with friends and family, plus the occasional spot of painting and DIY!
