SUCCESS is sweet for a cardboard box firm.

Boxes GH has secured a deal with sugar giant Tate & Lyle Europe.

Under the contract the Great Harwood firm will supply all the company's cartons for the next two years.

"We purchase about seven million cartons a year and were seeking a manufacturer which provided quality at an attractive price," said David Williams, senior buyer for Tate & Lyle Europe.

"Our team visited the plant and the company passed with flying colours."

More than £3.5million has recently been invested in the Boxes site including new printing presses.

"We believe we won this contract thanks to our reputation for a fast, flexible service and our understanding of all the technical considerations which are crucial for trouble-free production," said Chris Fuller, business development manager.
