Employee-ownership and ambition

Kite Packaging is the only employee-owned business of its kind in our sector, this unique characteristic positively influences every element of our work. The company ethos that ‘customer satisfaction matters so much more when you own the business,’ reinforces the sense of responsibility, pride and commitment that defines the way our employees think.

The option to become a shareholder in the business after 6 months really appeals to those who want to share in the rewards of Kite’s success, which they and their teams have helped to achieve. Success leads to success and at Kite that means helping one-another strive to be the best we can be, so together we can achieve more.

At Kite we attract people with a hunger for growth both personally and professionally, individuals who at their core have a natural drive to succeed. Ever since we launched in 2001, we have been accelerating rapidly towards our goal of becoming the fastest-growing, most profitable packaging distribution company in the UK. This year we were placed 66th in the prestigious ‘Profit Track 100’ annual table published by the Sunday Times. 

The employee-shareholder experience

Through our HMRC approved Share Incentive Plan, Kite employees can enjoy the rewards and benefits their hard work helps to create. With our strong financial position, continuous investment and track record for growth we stand out as a rewarding place to work across multiple job roles and disciplines.

As part of our culture, we strive to develop those with potential to harness their talent through our apprentice and graduate programmes in addition to our telesales and field sales academies, cultivating an environment of constant learning and development. We are immensely proud of our approach to equal opportunities both in our recruitment process and our day-to-day operation.
