Following Peter Davey’s retirement from PPS East, we are pleased to announce that Lisa Stephenson has joined the company in July as Accounts Administrator.
“I am delighted to be a new addition to the team at PPS” said Lisa, who went on to say “I have previously worked in the fish industry for several years so I am quite used to the lovely smell of fish!” Lisa will look after the administration of the business supporting Kate Williamson (Business Development) and Paul Durrant (Operations). Outside of work, Lisa’s husband and two children keep her busy most of the time however she likes reading and going to the local theatre and cinema.
Jeremy Tutt (Financial Controller) said ”I am really pleased Lisa has joined PPS. Following Peter’s retirement, it was important to recruit someone who would fit in with the team and continue to support PPS East Limited as we continue to grow and develop.”
PPS East Limited (formerly TFA Box Company) was established in Grimsby over 25 years ago to service the local fishing industry. BRC accreditation in Storage and Distribution means the company also attracts major blue chip clients.
They operate out of their wash facility in Omega Business Park. This allows local fish and food production businesses to hire plastic returnable containers and pallets and also have them hygienically washed. Due to increased interest from fish merchants, suppliers and processors looking to purchase various reusable containers, PPS East Limited has recently started selling directly to customers plastic boxes and trays, pans, defrosting crates and pallets.

All Change at PPS Returnable Packaging Specialists
We are experiencing exciting times at PPS with continued growth in all areas of our business. In the last two weeks we have welcomed two new members to our growing team.
Lucy Allsebrook has recently joined our sales department. Our sales team provides customers with a large variety of returnable equipment including plastic pallets, crate hire, pallet boxes, trays and roll cages on a purchase basis. They are on hand to advise customers on the best equipment for their business. Lucy will also be involved as part of the sales team in the organisation of short term equipment rentals and ad hoc washes.
Our operations department has also expanded with Helen Adams joining the team as operations assistant. She will be largely working on our full service customer accounts and using our online asset tracking system, Enable. The management of equipment is of upmost importance when using returnable equipment and the Enable system prevents losses.
Joanne Moss at PPS said ‘We are really excited to be welcoming Lucy and Helen to our growing team. The use of returnable packaging has increased rapidly in the last few years with many users seeing the benefits of cost savings and a lower carbon foot print. At PPS our customers have been pleased with the variety and quality of service that we provide.
We have been meeting the needs of our customers who already use RTP or wish to start by offering a selection of services including hygienic equipment washing, rental, pooling, management, sales and equipment repairs. I am sure that Lucy and Helen will be valuable additions to our team as we continue to grow.’
