Smyths Toys Testimonial

Hear from Paul at Smyths Toys about why they chose Hub Packaging and how we helped equip their new distribution warehouse with the right packaging solutions from day one.

“When setting up our new warehouse, we faced challenges finding a reliable supplier for our consumables.

We chose Hub because of their exceptional service and friendly, approachable team. They provided us with wrapping machines, machine wrap, hand pallet wrap and effective sticker solutions, all tailored to our needs.

Since partnering with Hub, we’ve achieved noticeable cost savings and significantly improved efficiency, particularly with our machine wrapping operations.”

Half Marathon update - Prostate Cancer UK

🏅 Newry Half Marathon Complete!

What a fantastic day with over 1,000 runners taking on the challenge. The heat certainly made itself known at around 22°C, adding an extra test of endurance for everyone!

The atmosphere was incredible, with so many family members and friends out in force to cheer runners on every step of the way. It was a brilliant event all round… even with a few sore feet afterwards!

A huge thank you to everyone who supported and donated to Prostate Cancer UK a truly worthwhile cause.

An incredible achievement. We’ve raised a total of £2,523!

Absolutely phenomenal effort from everyone involved 👏

Finally, a special thanks to Shaun and his family, and a moment to remember David Garey – Team Dog 🐾 

Eva Martin's Work Placement

We are delighted to welcome Eva Martin back to Hub Packaging for a further work placement.
 

Eva is a secondary school student from just outside Rathfriland and is currently studying A Levels at Banbridge Academy. Her chosen subjects are Maths, Physics, Technology & Design, and Business Studies.

This summer, Eva is spending four weeks with the Hub Packaging team as part of her work placement programme, gaining valuable experience that will help inform her future education and career choices.

Having previously spent four days with the business in February, shadowing colleagues across a variety of departments, Eva made a great impression and was subsequently offered the opportunity to return for an extended placement.

The placement provides Eva with a fantastic opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a business environment, while allowing the team at Hub Packaging to support the development of local young talent.

Go Karting

On Friday, 18th June, the senior management team organised a go karting day for the entire company.

Despite the heavens opening and the rain pouring down, it certainly didn’t stop us! In fact, the wet conditions on the outdoor track only added to the excitement and made the competition even more intense.

A huge thank you to Lyons Karting for delivering such a fantastic and memorable experience. Unfortunately, there could only be three places on the podium, and everyone was determined to claim the top spot.

Congratulations to our podium winners: Bradley, Martin, and Chester,  who raced their way to the top positions! There’s no doubt we’ll be back for another round in the future. 🏁👏
