Very few reports have been done on this place before. The only information i could find online was this:
31 August 2007
Rockingham Box, the Kettering-based rigid and folding carton packaging manufacturer, has gone into administration. The company reported a turnover of £4m in 2005, the last period for which information is available, down 22% on the previous year. It also recorded a pre-tax loss of £240,000, compared with £491,000 in 2004. In 2005, it cut its workforce by a fifth, to 97 staff. The company was previously called Seddon Packaging and Print, but changed its name in March 2007 following a management buyout. Rockingham Box produces a range of rigid and folding carton boxes, jigsaws and also offers printing and contract packing services.
The factories are still in good condition, some stuff looks as though it has hardly been touched since the factory closed. It was a a successful explore, with some good finds and it is definitely worth checking out.
Thanks for looking
