A BRADFORD-based packaging firm is in the running for a national award after an 'exceptional' year.

Mailway Packaging Solutions, which has more than doubled its turnover in 12 months, has been shortlisted for the UK Packaging Awards’ contract packer of the year prize.

Richard Bramma, chief executive, said: “We have experienced an exceptional year, driven by strong growth that’s the result of hard work and a clear strategy to develop our people and a lean infrastructure, we just hope that this is acknowledged and rewarded on the night of the UK Packaging Awards.”

Winners will be announced on November 12.
