Paul Clegg
Global Packaging Manager
Unilever (retired)

Paul worked for Unilever for almost 40 years and retired in August 2007 when his final position was Global Director for Packaging Technology.

In this role he and his team worked closely with Unilever’s Global Supply Management Organisation, ensuring that best value was obtained from the €3.5 Billion Packaging spend. Two key tools that were developed and deployed were cost modelling and mould management.

Paul has a degree in Chemical Engineering and his Unilever career involved roles in Manufacturing, Quality and R&D as well as Supply Management and he has worked in a number of different geographies.

He has focussed on Packaging since 1990 and regards the three years he spent in charge of Unilever’s Asian Packaging Organisation between 1999 and 2002 as one of his career highlights. Paul is now a consultant focussing mainly on supporting Brand Owners on the use of technology and leadership building, organisation and processes to get best value from their packaging.
