Coronavirus (COVID-19) - Latest

The three James Cropper business divisions all remain open with the levels of production being phased to align with the ongoing demand.

Within the Paper business, we are continuing to offer our bespoke made to order products as well as our Mill Collection product ranges from stock. Our sampling and colour matching service is unaffected and we welcome all enquiries from both existing and new customers.
Orders remain strong for our Technical Fibre Products, particularly from the green energy sector for materials used in fuel cells and wind turbines. New enquiries are still coming in across the business, including new packaging orders for our Colourform moulded fibre packaging division.

Meanwhile we continue to adhere to Government guidelines during the pandemic, and have carried out a Covid-19 risk assessment which is published here under Risk Management on our website. Anyone who can work from home is doing so and a number of new measures are in place at the mill to ensure the safety of our staff and the local community. At this stage, we are pleased to say that we are not aware of any reported cases of Covid-19.

We are actively supporting all staff including providing regular news and updates on our employee social media network, Workplace. Advice and information is available on a number of topics, including health & safety on the coronavirus, help and support networks and tips on working from home or being at home during the lockdown. This employee portal is designed to keep everyone connected in these unprecedented times.

In addition, a dedicated helpline is available through our private health scheme for any members of staff who want to discuss issues such as their mental health.

We send our very best wishes to all of our customers and suppliers and thank you for your continued support.
