Dakin commented: “After considering a number of selling options, the MBO option was viewed by Bob as the preferred route for his exit from the company.
“As an MBO team we are very pleased to assume responsibility and ownership of the company as we feel that our continued involvement provides both a balanced and stable management platform.”
Last year the company rebranded as Fenton Packaging Solutions and invested over £1m to streamline its operations.
It reportedly installed electric charging points, a low-emission truck fleet, and paperless processes.
