Anj Packaging

We are based over in the 40 Shed Area of Gidc, at A-1/322/22. It’s a bit of a maze back here if you don’t know where you’re going. The shed itself is big enough for what we do, which is mostly just sorting out packaging stuff. It gets quite dusty with all the cardboard and paper around, so we’re always sweeping up. My brother and I took over the space a few years back. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s steady. We spend most of the morning loading and unloading things. You learn quickly that a good stack is the difference between a quick day and a very long one. The fans in the ceiling try their best, but in the middle of summer, it’s a struggle. We usually have the radio playing in the background to keep the mood up. It’s mostly just us and a couple of local guys who help with the heavy lifting. We’ve known the other owners in the shed area for years. We trade stories about the traffic or the latest power cuts. It’s a tight-knit spot. We don't have a big office or a receptionist. If the phone rings, whoever is closest to the desk picks it up. It’s just a basic operation, but it works for us and the people who need boxes. We just take it one order at a time and try to stay ahead of the schedule.
