Owner and Chairman
Versapak UK was established in 1973 by Ian, in a small office above a restaurant in Chislehurst, Kent. Father of two and entrepreneur to not only a business, but a Ski-School and Rock Band, Ian launched Versapak and its namesake product, the Versapak; a simple, yet effective reusable security mailing pouch. The Versapak range of products became known for being durable, secure and cost effective, and was soon widely accepted by postal authorities and courier companies throughout the world.
