Telford MP visits Mail Solutions – A local Business with a Global Reach
As part of a commitment to engaging with businesses across Telford, Shaun Davies MP recently visited Mail Solutions in Halesfield, one of the UK’s most successful manufacturers of envelopes and print. Not only is Mail Solutions a leader in its field, but it is also proudly employee-owned, demonstrating a commitment to both its workforce and the local economy.
Born and bred in Telford, Shaun was amazed to discover the incredible range of products manufactured right in the heart of the town. From manufacturing products for major utility companies to tickets for some of the biggest sporting events worldwide, and even millions of paper straws for leading UK drink brands, Mail Solutions plays a vital role in supplying essential printed materials across the globe.
During the visit, discussions focused on several key topics:
- Green manufacturing & UK-based production – Mail Solutions is dedicated to sustainable practices, ensuring that they buy, make, and sell within the UK while also exporting globally.
- Skills development & workforce sustainability – Equipping people with the right skills is crucial, ensuring long-term industry resilience.
- Innovation & competitiveness – The Company stays ahead by developing new, in-demand products such as paper straws, widely used by major brands in the UK.
Speaking about the visit, Shaun said:
“It’s fantastic to know that a little piece of Telford is behind so many major products used across the UK and beyond. Mail Solutions is a brilliant local business doing big things, and I was excited to hear about their plans to stay and grow in Telford. Their innovation and commitment to sustainability make them a true asset to our town.”

I highlighted the importance of investing in advanced practices and equipment to maintain UK competitiveness.
“Shaun recognised the need to promote local and UK-based production, especially in light of the global push toward net-zero carbon targets.

Powering a Greener Future at Mail Solutions
Mail Solutions is proud to announce the successful completion of a major upgrade to its solar panel installation at its headquarters in Telford. The enhanced solar array is now fully operational and actively generating clean, renewable electricity for the business, marking a significant milestone in the company’s journey towards achieving Net Zero emissions.
This new installation builds upon an existing solar energy system, expanding capacity to an impressive 600 kWp. The upgrade dramatically reduces the company’s reliance on traditional energy sources and significantly lowers its carbon footprint. By harnessing the power of the sun, Mail Solutions is not only making a bold statement in favour of sustainability but also securing long-term energy cost savings, reinforcing the financial and environmental benefits of green energy investments.
Finance Director Jonathan Higson expressed his excitement about the achievement: “This is a game-changing development for Mail Solutions. Sustainability isn’t just an aspiration for us—it’s a fundamental responsibility. The completion of this solar project is a powerful testament to our commitment to reducing our environmental footprint while maintaining operational efficiency and responsibility. It’s a major leap forward in our Net Zero strategy, and we take immense pride in this accomplishment.”
“Beyond its environmental benefits, this investment in solar power makes strong business sense. By generating our own electricity, we’re insulating ourselves from volatile energy markets, strengthening our energy resilience, and securing significant cost savings. This installation is a cornerstone of our strategy to future-proof the company and drive long-term sustainability.”
One of the most remarkable aspects of this upgraded system is its ability to power Mail Solutions’ 24/7 manufacturing operations entirely during the sunniest summer months—an impressive feat that underscores the efficiency and impact of this renewable energy initiative.
The completion of the solar panel project is another important stepping stone in Mail Solutions’ long-term environmental strategy. With this system now operational, the company is contributing to the UK’s transition towards cleaner energy while strengthening its own energy efficiency. The impact will be felt not only within the business but also in the broader community, as Mail Solutions continues to set an example of corporate responsibility and environmental leadership.
This initiative is just one of many steps the company is taking to integrate sustainability into its operations. Mail Solutions remains committed to exploring further innovations and renewable energy solutions to continue its progress toward a greener future.
With the solar panels now producing clean energy every day, the company is well on its way to achieving its sustainability goals by delivering benefits for the business, its customers, and the planet alike. The future is bright for Mail Solutions, and it's powered by the sun!.
