Specialist food and drink glass packaging manufacturer Croxsons has appointed Joel Croxson, a sixth-generation member of the family-owned business, as Content & Media Coordinator.
Joel, whose great-great-great grandfather William started the now B-Corp business in 1872, studied Photography at A-level and will now focus on developing the company’s social media presence as well as contributing to its customer newsletters, photographic history archive and product photo library.
“It’s certainly a great privilege to work for the same company that my great-great-great grandfather started 154 years ago,” said Joel. “I’m looking forward to bringing a different eye to things through my camera while acknowledging the substantial and significant heritage of this long-established business.”
In his spare time, Joel is a keen LEGO builder and follower of football, Formula 1 and darts.
“It’s an exciting moment to have the sixth generation of the Croxson family joining the team and it’s fantastic to continue the heritage now with three generations working for the company at the same time,” commented Josh Webster, Head of Brand at Croxsons. “I’m looking forward to supporting Joel in his development as he brings new ideas and an eye for photography to the marketing and events team.”
