Herald expands biodegradable range for 2020
Disposables manufacturer and supplier, Herald is stocking up on biodegradables for 2020 as demand continues for a greener, disposable offering across its UK customer base. Providing as full a selection as possible, Herald is offering a range
of sizes in its double wall hot paper cups, including 8 oz, 12 oz and 16 oz sizes. The biodegradable selection is brown, while there are other double wall paper options (cups and soup containers) in brown and black. The company is also expanding its bagasse range to include chip
trays, burger boxes, noodle boxes and square, round and rectangle plates, in varying sizes. Herald has aimed to stay ahead of the trend for environmentally
friendly and alternative products over the last few years, appealing directly to the vending market, where demand is growing. Its green solutions also include natural birchwood cutlery, stirrers
and skewers and a corn starch cutlery range – which looks and feels like plastic but is natural and completely biodegradable. Managing director of Herald, Yogesh Patel comments: “Our
primary concern is to offer our customers affordable quality, providing the greatest variety and ensuring a full range of green options, including biodegradable products. “The market is changing and, although it is still very much price
driven, many catering, vending and food to go concerns have to consider credible eco-friendly disposable offerings to meet their own customer demand.”

Hawco Ltd appoints new managing director
Hawco has appointed Martin Butler as managing director. Martin has been with the company since 1999 and has plenty of
experience working within sales, product management and customer service. His most recent role was commercial director. He said: "Over the years I've held a number of roles throughout
the business, primarily sales orientated. Most recently as a commercial director my role was heavily biased towards products (existing and new), inventory control, supplier relations and marketing. I'm looking forward to getting involved in all areas of the business, learning new products, markets and industries and working closely with the senior management team to put initiatives and strategies in place that positions the business strongly in the market." He added: "I wouldn't necessarily say it was an easy decision. However, having spent 20 years at Hawco, I felt like it was the right time in my career to take on new challenges and make the next step into this role. I'm so pleased that I have the opportunity to be able to do this within the Hawco Group."
