New head of creative services at Pollard Boxes

Packaging Solutions

Pollard Boxes has promoted Tan Mahal to head of creative services.

In the newly created role, Tan will be responsible for marketing and communications activities for Pollards as well as leading and coordinating its comprehensive creative design services, which help customers to achieve packaging solutions that combine aesthetics, functionality and sustainability and can be manufactured efficiently and cost effectively.

The Pollard design offering, available through the company’s Design and Innovation Hub, includes structural design development, the production of mood boards, visualisations, and samples, along with ongoing market research to identify emerging trends, which can be built into new projects.

Tan joined the company in 2016 following the completion of a BA (Hons) degree in Product Design at Nottingham Trent University.

‘Tan has been instrumental in ensuring we maintain the close working partnerships with our customers that are essential both to speed up the development and fulfilment of projects and enable the introduction of new ideas and techniques that can add value to the finished pack,’ commented commercial director Peter Conner.

‘This promotion is very well deserved as we seek to build on our successes and further enhance our reputation for excellence in luxury packaging.’
