It is now part of a state of the art manufacturing facility making padded bags, bubble film, bubble lined mailers to name but a few of the company’s products. The company’s most recent innovation following a multi-million pound investment is the introduction of extrusion technology to manufacture polyethylene foam.

Speaking about the royal invitation, Fiona said: ‘It was a huge privilege and honour for Jiffy to be represented at this majestic luncheon and to be part of The Queen and Duchess of Sussex’s historic visit to Cheshire.

‘I made some great connections with other guests over lunch and even managed to get a photograph with The Lord Mayor of Chester and his wife, Janet, The Lady Mayoress.’
