Brian Chalmers is joining Heidelberg UK as sales representative for Scotland. He brings with him extensive graphic arts experience, from both a supplier and printer perspective.
He is a time served litho printer who sold consumables and prepress equipment for 15 years before moving to a finishing supplier. This has given him broad experience that is relevant for the comprehensive range of products that Heidelberg supplies.
"This is a great opportunity to join the market leader with its broad portfolio of products," says Mr Chalmers.
Phil Buttress, sales manager at Heidelberg UK, says: "Derek Kenney has represented Heidelberg well for 17 years and we wish him all the best for the future. Brian has a strong industry background. He is joining an effective team supporting customers in Scotland and will bring a fresh approach."
The Scottish print industry has recovered strongly in the last 18 months. In the last few weeks alone Heidelberg has reported the installation of a Speedmaster SX 74-5 at Pandaprint, a Speedmaster SX 52-5 at Cowan Print, Polars for D.E.N.A. Screenprint and Multiprint (Scotland) and renewal of its Heidelberg ISO12647-2 colour certification by 21 Colour.
