Initiative’s 25th anniversary: Portugal celebration success

Members of the Initiative community embark on a remarkable journey to Setubal, Portugal, hosted by Antalis UK and The Navigator Company, exploring local treasures and gaining insights into the sustainability of Initiative Office Papers

A tour of the Espirra Nursery and The Navigator Company’s ‘ATF’ paper mill on the Mitrena peninsula gave members a fantastic insight not only into the sustainability of Initiative Office Papers but also the level of commitment involved in bringing high-quality papers to market.

Integra’s Senior Project Manager, Rob Burgess, comments “A huge thank you to Antalis and The Navigator Company for helping us celebrate Initiative’s 25^th anniversary and for hosting such a fantastic trip. Congratulations to our winning members and thank you for your continued support of Initiative.”

Ashley Miller, General Manager, Northern Europe, at The Navigator Paper Company, adds “At Navigator, we are immensely proud of our forest nursery, our manufacturing assets and our story, so it was a real privilege to be able to share them with the Integra team on such a milestone for the Initiative brand.”

Mick Millar, Managing Director at Office Plus, comments “Thank you to everyone involved in what was not only a very enjoyable trip but an incredibly insightful experience. We have come away with a much deeper understanding of what it takes to produce our best-selling paper and feel more confident in being able to educate our customers when it comes to environmental factors and sustainability. A very worthwhile and enjoyable trip all round!”
