Gartland said he was ‘shocked but pleased’ with the win, and added: “I have worked with Nestlé across many projects, delivering upon developing high quality packaging products. The awards were a really fun night and I’m very grateful to be recognised.”

During the night, the food and drinks giant also awarded European cardboard packaging provider Smurfit Kappa for its collaboration to optimise Nestlé’s supply chain and packaging. The two companies jointly focused on Nestlé’s cereal portfolio, for which Smurfit Kappa identified cost reductions and how to minimise wastage. Nestlé honoured Smurfit Kappa for changing its packaging materials, streamlining logistics and increasing the efficiency of the goods receipt processing.

Clive Bowers, Smurfit Kappa’ chief executive officer, said: “Nestlé is a valued customer so we are delighted to get this recognition.

“The award is another example of how working closely together and truly understanding all aspects of a customer’s business can lead to a rewarding partnership.”
