Meet the Team

Jacky & Brian
Husband and wife team Brian and Jacky Sidebottom lead the managerial team at Glossop Cartons. Brian is the managing director and Jacky is Company Secretary. The couple have two children and live in the Glossop area. The firm is a true family affair, employing Brian's nephew Lee Sidebottom and his wife Joanne, while Jill Woodacre, Jacky's sister is another of the company's directors.

Jacky said: "We want to remain a family business and committed to the local area. We have grown from three people up to the size we are now. I have worked on the shop floor and that is something I can still do which I believe is very handy. It does carry credibility with the workforce that, as a director, I can still get out there and do the hands-on bit.

"My main role is sales director, the representatives report to me and I oversee all the costings and customer services. We are not figurehead directors, we are involved in the whole product. "For the future our ambition is to carry on with a controlled growth, to expand but at the same time keep both feet firmly on the ground."
