    In 1969, when most are thinking of retiring, Alexander and Madeleine Lombard - both in their 60’s - established Lombard The Paper People with their youngest son Claude, in the shed of their Box Hill home. From the beginning, Lombard The Paper People revolutionised the paper industry by pioneering new methods and issues that have now become standard industry practice. The company is a pioneer in the support of ecological and environmental awareness causes such as “Save the Whales”, recycling news print, and were the first to supply photodegradable and biodegradable plastics.Source: This is an extract from the company's own website.

    best workplace ever
    The good thingsI’ve enjoyed everything about working at Lombard. During the week, I enjoy picking and preparing orders, which includes cleaning and painting. I also enjoy going on the road on weekends to do event set ups at both venues and customers houses. It is such a fun work environment, which teaches so many useful life skills.
