CPI appoints director of raw materials
The Confederation of Paper Industries (CPI) has named Simon Weston as director of raw naterials.
Weston joins CPI with 20 years’ experience of working in the paper industry. He joined the senior management team of the Smurfit Kappa SSK paper mill in 1995 as managing director of the raw material procurement arm Midlands Paper Recycling, before moving to a similar role at the solid board box maker, Kappa Corby in 2000.
In 2005 he was asked to lead the consolidated Smurfit Kappa Recycling, where he worked until recently.
David Workman, CPI director general, said: “I am delighted that the CPI team has been further strengthened by Simon’s appointment. He brings a huge amount of knowledge and experience with him which will be put to good use in championing paper recycling in the UK.”
