We’re kicking off the week with some great news!

Our Folkestone team has retained their AA grading following a recent BRCGS audit. This certification looks at everything from product safety and hygiene to how we manage risk and quality across our operations. Hats off to the team! 🎉

Our focus has always been on delivering high standards for our customers, and we’ve got the grade to prove it.

So, if you are wondering about our quality and compliance…

It’s OK. Hovat’s got the AA.

At Hovat Limited, we’re passionate about the flexible packaging solutions we bring to market – and it’s the people behind the scenes who bring that passion to life.

Meet Siddhartha Gurung (Sid), a member of our reprographics team, who brings together his creative flair and technical expertise to help turn ideas into finished packaging.

Starting his career as a junior designer in London, Sid developed a sharp creative eye before transitioning into print production. Since joining Hovat over a year ago, he’s embraced his new role in reprographics and quickly become an important part of the team.

In his role, Sid works across the full artwork process for a wide range of clients and household brands, preparing artwork and printing plates for various flexible packaging formats – including stick packs, flow wraps, sachets, pillow packs, and pouches. Working closely with the food industry, his work also supports household, cosmetics, horticulture, and pet markets.

Sid plays an essential role in ensuring every design is production-ready and up to the highest standards. His attention to detail and understanding of both design and print make him an invaluable part of the Hovat team.

We’re proud to have Sid on board and invite you to connect with him – and the wider Hovat team – to learn more about what we do.

With entries now open for The Grocer New Product & Packaging Awards 2025, we thought it was the perfect time to share two award-winning butter wraps we were involved with last year.

All Things Butter – Garlic & Herb
🏅 Champion Award in the Dairy Foods category

A bold and full-of-flavour butter with packaging to match. We really enjoyed helping bring this vibrant design to life and see it grab attention on shelf.

Aldi UK – Yorkshire Butter Wrap
🥈 Silver Award for Sustainability Pack of the Year

A clean and smart design with a strong focus on sustainability. This fully recyclable wrap not only looks great on shelf, but also plays a part in reducing environmental impact.

A huge thank you and congratulations to our brilliant clients and partners – it was a pleasure to work with you. And best of luck to everyone entering the awards this year!
