Colton Packaging, a leading distributor of high-quality corrugated packaging solutions, is pleased to announce the appointment of Cora Montgomery as its new Business Development Manager for the Midlands region.


With nearly a decade of experience in the packaging industry, Cora brings a wealth of expertise and proven success in customer relationship management, strategic growth and bespoke packaging solutions.


In this newly created role, Cora will focus on expanding Colton Packaging’s customer base throughout the Midlands, developing strategic partnerships and supporting clients with innovative and sustainable corrugated packaging.

“We’re excited to welcome Cora to the team,” said Director Duncan Smith. “Cora’s extensive industry knowledge and track record in driving business development will be instrumental in strengthening our presence in the Midlands and helping our customers achieve smarter, more efficient packaging outcomes.”


Cora previously held key commercial roles with another packaging distributor, where she consistently exceeded growth targets and built long-term relationships across multiple sectors.


“I initially was interested in Colton Packaging, as I was looking to take the next step in my career. They have a great reputation in the industry for being a long-standing family business."


"From my first interview I could tell that Colton Packaging is a company that are really invested in seeing their team grow and succeed, I knew that I could continue to further my career here and have the companies support and investment in my development."

Colton Packaging is a Loughborough-based business offering corrugated cardboard packaging to a variety of regional and national clients across FMCG, manufacturing and e-commerce sectors.


Packaging has been at the heart of the Colton family since the mid-nineteenth century. The business is now in its fifth generation and with each passing year their industry knowledge, product range and customer care has grown consistently.
