JEFF BEZOS from AMAZON.COM - THE IDEA THAT DOUBLED THEIR PRODUCTIVITY
Amazon Founder & CEO Jeff Bezos shares just how brilliant he is at coming up with solutions to problems. Or not.

“Just to show you how stupid I can be, [in the early days of Amazon] we were packing on our hands and knees on a hard concrete floor and I had this brainstorm. I said to the person next to me, ‘This packing is killing me. My back hurts. This is killing my knees on this hard cement floor.’ The person said, ‘Yeah, I know what you mean.’ I said, ‘You know what we need?’ This is my brilliant insight - ‘We need....'

BYE BYE.... BRENDA!
Brenda Purdy has triggered Article 2017 and has committed to her very own Bre-xit.
Our resident Jill-in-the-Box Brenda has been lured away to far-off lands by a sweet-talking man from Canada-land.

Without a moments thought for her colleagues and probably plenty of thought for a climate that could not possibly be any wetter than Warrenpoint, she will be finishing her duties at Hub Packaging at the end of August.

Aileen will be picking up the reins from September to ensure that our customers continue to get the best Customer Service on the island. You can email any queries you would normally have sent to Brenda to Aileen at

aileen.purdy@hub-packaging.com
You can still email Brenda at brenda.purdy@hub-packaging.com until the end of August.
