We are pleased to welcome Julie Checkley to the Barum & Dewar team as our new Business Development Manager.

Julie brings over a decade of B2B sales experience in UK and European manufacturing and packaging sectors, with a strong track record of working across plastics, industrial manufacturing, aerospace, and food & drink. She joins B&D at an exciting time as we continue to grow our specialist packaging solutions across space, defence, and other technical industries.

Julie’s approach is rooted in collaboration, curiosity, and customer care; qualities that align perfectly with our ethos. She is passionate about understanding the challenges our clients face and finding smart, effective ways to solve them. Her experience in project management, coupled with her ability to interpret complex technical data, will be a valuable asset as she works with new and existing clients to support their packaging requirements.

David Frame, Managing Director at Barum & Dewar, commented, “Julie brings a strong blend of commercial acumen, technical understanding and customer focus, exactly what we need as we continue to grow our business in specialised sectors. Her experience and energy will be a real asset to the team, and I am delighted to welcome her to B&D.”

Reflecting on her first impressions, Julie said, “There’s real talent and passion at B&D. Everyone here takes pride in delivering the best possible results and that is exactly the kind of team I want to be part of.”

Julie’s initial focus will be on deepening relationships with our existing customers, listening to their feedback, and exploring how we can further improve service and efficiency across every stage of delivery.

Welcome to the team, Julie, we are delighted to have you on board.
