Jordon Pullen takes on Business Development Manager role at green retail tech firm Polytag

Recycling technology company Polytag has appointed Jordon Pullen as Business Development Manager.

She was previously at ThisThat, where she held the same role, and has also worked at Euromonitor International.

In a LinkedIn post, Pullen said: “For years, I’ve admired companies proving that profit and purpose don’t have to be at odds. One idea I keep coming back to: “small” choices, at scale, have very real impact. And packaging brings that to life in a tangible way that affects everyone.”

“So when I got the offer to join Polytag, I jumped at the chance and am thrilled to be joining them in their mission to increase traceability in recycling and empower a smarter, more circular economy.”

She added: “It’s an especially exciting time to come on board. With legislation in this space evolving quickly, there’s a growing need for solutions - and a real opportunity for impact. My first meeting with William Addy (Chief Commercial Officer) and Alice Rackley (CEO) only further confirmed that.”

“Almost immediately, Alice was talking about “commercial imperatives” while carrying a Polytag tote featuring a landscape saying, “All of this is worth saving.” It was energising to meet with people who didn’t just believe growth and impact could go hand-in-hand - they were already doing it. I’m thrilled to be joining the team and excited to keep everyone up to speed on here as I dive in.”

2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

Green retail will be a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards, which are now open for entries, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
