A Good Year For Kite

A Great Year for Kite

By Jake Kirk • Thursday 19th December 2013

As the year draws to a close, it feels like the perfect time to take a moment and reflect on all that has happened at Kite in 2013. We wanted to share with you some of the highlights from the past twelve months and thank everyone who has supported us along the way—our customers, partners, suppliers, and most importantly, our amazing team.

To show our appreciation, we took an unusual step last week and placed a full-page ad in The Times - Future of Packaging supplement. It was a special way to say thank you to all our partners, and if you missed it, here's the full version in all its glossy glory.

This ad marked a new chapter for Kite as we continue to invest in growth and expand across the UK. As we look back on 2013, it's clear it was a year filled with innovation, progress, and plenty of achievements.

New Products

One of the most exciting parts of 2013 was the launch of several new product lines, both online and in our branches. Our first major release was the 'enviro' range, developed in partnership with WRAP. These eco-friendly products not only helped reduce environmental impact but also offered cost savings for our customers. The enviro-tape received great media attention, and we even launched an online calculator to help users estimate their savings when switching.

We also introduced a new line of protective packaging for the art and picture industry, including telescopic picture frame boxes designed to protect delicate artwork. A dedicated section of the Kite website was created to make it easier for artists and galleries to find everything they need in one place.

But the biggest hit of the year was the Mini Air System. This affordable air cushion machine, priced at just £599, was a game-changer for small and medium-sized businesses. It was featured in several top-tier logistics and packaging publications and quickly became a bestseller.

Website Redesign

Another major project this year was the complete redesign of our website by our in-house team. The goal was to improve the user experience, making it easier for customers to find what they need. Features like the ‘Search by Size’ tool allowed users to input product dimensions and get tailored recommendations for packaging solutions.

The new site was launched alongside the Mini Air System and included a price comparison tool to help customers see how much they could save using air cushions instead of traditional void fill. Social media integration and a fully updated blog platform were also added, encouraging more interaction and feedback from our community.

Charity Work

Our employees played a huge role in our charity efforts throughout the year. Many took part in fundraising challenges, such as the Great North Run, while others organized events like silent cake auctions and bush tucker trials for Children in Need.

We also collected food donations for local food banks and had a great time during Movember, where our team grew impressive moustaches to support men’s health charities. And as the year comes to a close, we’re wrapping things up with our annual raffle, offering exciting prizes donated by our suppliers and supporting local causes once again.

Investments and Growth

2013 was a year of expansion and investment. We opened a new branch in the South West, serving Plymouth and surrounding areas. We also upgraded our transport fleet, adding new trucks to meet growing demand.

Perhaps the most significant investments were in our property portfolio. We invested £5 million in our Midlands and Northern sites, doubling the Coventry facility to 179,000 sq. ft and relocating the Sheffield site to a brand-new building in Rotherham.

Awards and Exhibitions

November was a big month for recognition. Kite was named ‘Outstanding Company’ by Plimsoll Publishing and ‘Premier Supplier’ by Eaton Corporation. These awards were a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team.

We also made a splash at the Packaging Innovations Show in October, launching the Kite AirShock—a revolutionary packaging solution that was a hit with attendees and set the stage for even more exciting developments in 2014.

Looking Ahead

As we move into 2014, we're excited about the opportunities ahead. This year will be about leveraging our recent growth and exploring new projects. Stay tuned for big news in January, and follow us on Facebook for more updates from our offices. Thank you for being part of the Kite story—we couldn’t have done it without you!
