Ciaran Dickson, with a decade of experience in UK and international engineering firms, has joined Frugal Bottles as their new addition to the team. He will be working alongside commercial manager Paula Kendall and will report to chief executive Malcolm Waugh.
Dickson previously worked at the food packaging machinery company Automac UK and expressed his excitement about his new role at Frugalpac. He stated, “I really welcome the opportunity of taking on this international role at Frugalpac. Seeing the Frugal Bottles in production on the FBAM-1 is incredible and when I first held the paper wine bottles it all made sense.”
Malcolm Waugh, the chief executive, also welcomed Dickson’s arrival, emphasizing his expertise in engineering and the beverage packaging industry. He highlighted the company’s progress, stating, “Our first FBAM-1 is being assembled by Kinsbrae Packaging in Canada, and a second machine will be on its way to California in Q1. We are working on 507 live Fruga Bottle quotations and 114 live Frugal Bottle Assembly Machine quotations which is the equivalent of over 300m Frugal Bottles.”
Waugh also noted the environmental impact of Frugal Bottles, adding, “The paper bottle revolution is here and working with Ciaran we will help to cut carbon from the wine industry even further.”
The addition of Ciaran Dickson to the Frugalpac team demonstrates the company’s commitment to engineering and sustainability in beverage packaging. This move aligns with the company’s efforts to drive food and drink sustainability, sustainable packaging, and food and drink marketing. Additionally, these developments also reflect the latest food and drink consumer trends.
