“I’ve been using the Wrapmaster products for years, they make everything faster and easier in a busy kitchen. When I joined Anglo American I asked my manager to switch from cardboard cutterboxes to the Wrapmaster dispenser. The fact that you can wash them, makes meeting health & safety, as well as hygiene rules that much easier, so we have a few dotted around the kitchen”
