The Team

I am responsible for the Packaging Machinery side of the business and am always looking for new innovations and ways to provide flexible solutions to our customers.

I started selling machinery at Engelmann & Buckham over 15 years ago and have had the benefit of working with some of the most innovative machinery manufacturers from around the world.  I offer our customers the best technical advice and solutions that the industry can offer and this has helped grow a large number of successful companies.

I believe that the best thing about being part of a service industry is the relationship that we form with our customers, which stems from supplying reliable machines, excellent support and results.

After five years in the Royal Engineers and a passing knowledge of the farming world,  I joined  Engelmann and Buckham (E&B) to sell machines to fill milk into plastic bottles and caps to seal it in.

My 22 years with E&B has covered the packing (packaging) and converting sectors, selling machines for:

Packaging – specifically Liquids Filling (dairy & juice market)

Converting – specifically Reel-to-Reel (unwind – rewind) converting of paper film and foil by

• Slitting
• Flexographic Printing
• Coating
• Laminating
• Paper cup & lid making

More recently in the last two years:

• Plastics sheet & film extrusion
• Plastics thermoforming

I enjoy adapting to the variety of industries these activities represent – and building good relationships with Principals, customer decision-makers and machine operators alike.

In 1996 I visited a paper mill in Kent to specify new slitting knives for an old slitter-rewinder machine. On comparing notes with my father I found that, over 60 years earlier as an apprentice engineer, he had helped commission the machines in the same factory!
