The Company
We, the UK’s largest packaging distributor have an opportunity for an experienced HR Business Partner to join the centralised HR team.

We are a committed equal opportunities employer that champions ‘dignity in the workplace’. Our focus is to provide customers with fully integrated and innovative packaging solutions, augmented by outstanding customer service.
The Senior HR Business Partner role
This is a newly created opportunity, working in collaboration with the business and a small HR team, with the purpose of providing strategic support and hands-on operational advice to key stakeholders. We are looking for an experienced HR BP, who is ready for the next step in their career, enjoys a generalist role in a fast-paced environment.
The Group has grown significantly, both organically and through acquisitions – which very much forms part of the strategic agenda. As such, this role will be specifically aligned to TUPE procedures and managing the integration process and cultural changes. In addition, the role will work closely with the HR Director in supporting the delivery of projects. Also supporting the senior management team, the role will play an integral role in shaping and growing the business.
