Parkside expands team with sales appointment

Parkside has further boosted its commercial expertise with the appointment of David Henry as sales account manager. 

Henry brings a wealth of flexible packaging industry experience to the business, having worked in the segment for over 15 years. A former professional footballer with Burnley FC in his teens, Henry’s dynamism and drive have helped increase the already standard-setting performance levels of Parkside’s team. 

Paul McKeown, sales director at Parkside said Henry has already made an impact in his short time with the business, saying, ‘David has hit the ground running and has already helped nurture some promising opportunities for us. As Parkside continues to grow across the world, Henry’s experience and passion for the industry will be key as we continue to deliver exciting new innovations to our customers. 

‘We are proud that Parkside is home to some of the brightest talents in the industry, at every level of our business. It’s pleasing to see that David fits into this environment so well – we look forward to seeing what he can achieve here.’ 

The news follows other significant investments in Parkside’s personnel, including its new dedicated global tobacco team, established earlier in the year. This investment follows a number of high-profile innovations and awards successes. 

Henry said this reputation is part of what attracted him to the role. ‘Having dealt with Parkside earlier in my career, this was an attractive opportunity knowing their product range and my knowledge of the marketplace. I’ve been made to feel very welcome by everyone at the business, and I see myself growing a lot over many successful years here. I look forward to playing my part in Parkside’s continued growth.’
