This started Evolution on a journey which has led to NaturePac
NaturePac was born from Evolution Packaging Products Ltd, a family business rooted in traditional retail packaging. In 2018, the new generation took over and realised the need for change. With a deep love for the outdoors and a passion for spending time in nature, they recognised the urgent need for behavioural shifts in waste disposal and littering.
This journey led to the creation of NaturePac, with a focus on helping the food-to-go sector make sustainable packaging choices. Their goal is to simplify the process of selecting and using eco-friendly packaging, empowering businesses to make the best choices for their operations and the environment.
Meet The Team
James Turton - Managing Director
I have been working within Evolution Packaging since about 2007. I first started in the warehouse and then move up through the business. This has given me, and continues to give me, great insight and understanding of the whole of the business.
I am passionate about small, continuous improvements, whether that’s myself, the business, our products, our sustainability, etc… If we can just constantly make small improvements each day, over the course of a year, the improvement will be massive.
Outside of the office, I love to be outside with my boys and wife, especially in the mountains! Every holiday we go on (other than trips to Center Parcs) we make sure they are to the mountains. Whether it’s the Scottish mountains, the Apls, the Rockies, or anywhere else, the smell of the fresh air is unbeatable! I also feel the mountains help to put everything in perspective. They are awe inspiring and help me to reflect.
The picture above is a special place in my wife and I’s hearts. It was taken in the Highlands of Scotland on a beautiful Autumn day. The drive down the to Loch was stunning. We had it to ourselves and we drove past a lovely heard of Red Deer. It was amazing! To have experiences like this is exactly why we do what we do!
Richard Butcher - Commercial Director
I grew up under the big sky’s and long horizons of the Cambridgeshire fen. I spent lots of my early years outside and still love being outdoors especially around water.
I have worked in the packaging industry in a number of roles over the last 27 years and am now General manager. In this diverse role I am fortunate to be involved in all areas of the business. With Sustainability and responsibity to minimising climate change now at the heart of most businesses It’s an exciting opportunity for us to make a real difference by helping our clients understand all their options. When I’m not working I enjoy carpentry, reading and love teaching my son to cook.

Barbara Nichols - Operations and Finance Manager
I joined the NaturePac team in November 2018 with a keen interest in providing sustainable solutions for packaging.
I worked in the Customer Success role being a main contact for customers and have now moved to be the Operations and Finance Manager where my skills of planning and accounting help keep the team on schedule to meet our mission.
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, particularly by the sea. I also love to bake much to the delight of my colleagues who love the sight of my cake tin!
