Weirbags Staff

July 2025 marks a major milestone for us at Weirbags - 70 years in business! We're thrilled to be celebrating seven decades of growth, diversification, and resilience.

From our humble beginnings in 1955, reselling used hessian sacks on the docks of Liverpool, Weirbags has grown to become one of the UK’s leading industrial packaging suppliers. Over the years, we’ve expanded our product range and expertise while staying true to our roots in traditional materials like hessian and woven polypropylene.

Our People Are Our Strength
One of the key reasons behind our longevity and success is our dedicated team. To this day, Weirbags remains a family-run company, and many of our employees have been with us for over 30 years. This continuity and wealth of experience are central to the personal service we provide and have helped us build strong, lasting relationships with our customers.

Proud of Our Past, Focused on the Future
We continue to supply packaging solutions to thousands of customers across a wide range of industries - throughout the UK and even globally. Some of our loyal clients have been with us for decades, a testament to our reliability and dedication to service.

A Shift Toward Innovation
Over the last decade, under the forward-thinking leadership of Managing Director Martin Ellioth and Operations Director Oskar Ellioth, Weirbags has embraced innovation. This has propelled us into new markets and expanded our offerings through our sister brand, Britwrap. With a focus on technical and bespoke packaging solutions, we’ve become a go-to provider for customers with unique packaging needs.

Our digital presence continues to grow through our websites, weirbags.co.uk and britwrap.com, making it easier than ever for customers to access our full product range and services.


Looking Ahead
As we look to the future, we’re as committed as ever to delivering the dependable service Weirbags is known for. We aim to deepen our existing relationships while reaching new markets with innovative packaging solutions.

Here’s to the next 70 years of packaging excellence!
