BPIF Cartons Chairman’s Lunch

In January, BPIF Cartons welcomed senior leaders from across the UK carton industry to The Crypt in London for our annual Chairman’s Lunch, led by Chairman Mark Ferguson. The event once again brought together converter and partner members for an afternoon of discussion, insight and collaboration.

The lunch provided an excellent opportunity to hear about and contribute to BPIF Cartons’ plans and priorities for the year ahead, while sharing current business challenges and opportunities with peers and suppliers.

The day featured a fantastic line-up of speakers including Mark Ferguson, Jon Clark, Mike Turner, Alex Ferguson and Nick Mockett, who shared valuable perspectives and sparked engaging, thought-provoking discussion. The afternoon was expertly kept on track by Paul Woollett.

The event also marked the first look at the brand-new 2026 BPIF Cartons Yearlet, which is now also available to members online.

We’re delighted to share that £2,500 was raised for East Anglia's Children’s Hospices (EACH) during the BPIF Cartons Chairman’s Lunch - bringing our total charitable fundraising to over £14,000. Thank you to everyone who contributed.

Looking ahead, we are pleased to confirm that the BPIF Cartons Summer Event and Awards Evening will take place on 11 June 2026 - save the date! More details will be shared soon.

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed. Events like this continue to demonstrate the strength, collaboration and shared ambition across the UK carton industry.
