    We started out small: 17 employees, 3 extruders, 1 printer and 4 conversion machines, to be exact. But even then, our ambition was colossal. It’s all thanks to our people, and their unwavering determination to deliver forward-thinking packaging solutions that we are where we are now. It’s that same spirit we started out with years ago, that has taken us to the international business it is today.

    We’re proud of our history. And if you want to make history with us, you’re in the right place. We could tell you what working at Duo is like. But we’d rather you heard it from our brilliant people themselves.

    “I moved from Newcastle to Manchester to study a professional accounting qualification and was looking for a job where I could put that into practice and continue to develop further. I worked for a large corporate company, but it lacked personality. I came for a couple of interviews at Duo and really liked the friendly vibe – and hey presto, I’m still here nearly 6 years later.”

    “I’ve been here since the very early days. I was in fact approached by the founders of Duo as they purchased their first conversion machine, as I was an experienced operator. I’m proud to work for a company that is trying to address the misconceptions about plastic and addresses the environmental issues by promoting reusable, recyclable and sustainable products. The company has always and continues to invest in new machinery. As if learning full circle, I’m currently training on the company’s latest purchase a brand new conversion machine.

Our focus is to operate the machines making sure the film is to a good standard and quality and keep downtime and scrap to a minimum.

    The whole team is so friendly, and I am fortunate to call many of my workmates friends.”

    “My Duo journey started as an apprentice printer, then to an ink technician, to sales executive, account manager and to my current role as Commercial Manager. It’s been amazing to see the changes over this period. I joined Duo in the early days and when I look around now, I see the significant investment in machinery, technology and the site. The continued research and development in driving packaging innovation forward sustainably makes me feel very proud to be part of this company. But most of all it’s the people, both past and present.”
