We have an exciting opening for a Business Development Manager to join and grow our Cup Print business in the UK.
About Us: Cup Print, founded by printed paper cup entrepreneur Terry Fox in 2009, revolutionised the industry with innovative business processes and a dedicated team. With a background in high-speed commercial printing and packaging, Terry identified a disconnect between the capabilities of mainstream printed paper cup equipment and the market it served. While large café and coffee shop chains benefited from economical options, independent cafés and small chains faced high-volume order requirements and long lead times, putting them at a competitive disadvantage.
Cup Print addressed these challenges by leveraging cutting-edge technologies, including 3D digital design preview capabilities, to provide flexible, cost-effective solutions for smaller businesses. Our commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction has made us a leader in the industry. We are proud to be part of the Huhtamaki family, a global leader in sustainable food packaging solutions.
Since starting the business focussing on short run, the business model has also developed a fast moving high volume model serving large accounts and national distributors in UK, Irish and EU markets
