\"I am extremely proud of FFP's position in the UK flexible packaging market and the respect that FFP has developed across the industry. This legacy is something that was started by my father back in 1962 and has been continuously built upon through my own leadership of the business and more recently since the appointment of the management team in place today. Having led FFP as a family-owned business for many years, we recognised the importance of succession planning to secure FFP's long-term future. This is the reason that we appointed David Cooper as Managing Director & CEO in 2017 and since then David and his team have done a phenomenal job in making sure that FFP's know-how, core competencies and values remain aligned with the needs of our customers and, in doing so, keeping FFP at the forefront of flexible packaging development. The sale of FFP to Constantia Flexibles is another important step on the firm's journey and I am delighted that David and his team will remain with the business to ensure a successful integration and continue to build on FFP's success long into the future.\"<\/p>
