Chairman Alan Raleigh said: "I am delighted that Helene has chosen to join Robinson as our new chief executive.

"Helene's deep understanding and experience of plastics packaging - which includes materials, product design and innovation, end-to-end business improvement and the plastics circular economy, combined with her obvious leadership talent, gives the board great confidence that she can lead Robinson on the next phase of our journey."
