Meet David Prew, our new Technical Sales Manager

We’re pleased to welcome David Prew to the team at Suttons Performance Packaging as our new Technical Sales Manager.

David joins us with more than 15 years of experience in the packaging industry, having worked across corrugated point-of-sale, promotional packaging, and retail print sectors. His expertise spans structural design, material selection, and print production, and he’s already making a substantial impact by helping both new and existing customers solve their packaging challenges.

As Technical Sales Manager, David will be working closely with customers to understand their unique needs, whether that’s reducing damage in transit, improving cost efficiency, or meeting sustainability goals. He’ll also collaborate with our in-house design and production teams to develop bespoke solutions that deliver on performance and value.

David shared his thoughts on joining the team:

“I’m thrilled to become part of the team at Suttons. I can see a tremendous amount of potential for businesses to benefit from the packaging and services that Suttons offer. This can help drive down costs, improve sustainability and prevent products from becoming damaged during shipping.”

“I’m excited to start making a difference and growing the business as it looks to achieve its ambitious targets over the next few years.”

David’s appointment comes at a key time for us. As demand for smarter, more sustainable packaging solutions continues to grow, we’re investing in the talent and tools to ensure our customers get the very best service and solutions.

Owen Sylvester, Managing Director at Suttons, added:

“David has already brought fresh ideas, enthusiasm and professionalism that will help us grow the business and build on our success and hard-earned reputation for quality and service.”
