Chris Jackson has this month joined Heidelberg UK. The former KBA man will handle digital and consumables sales for Heidelberg in the north east, a region that takes in Newcastle, Leeds and Lincoln and all areas in between.
"Heidelberg is the market leader in graphic arts and having come up against them regularly I fully appreciate the strength and breadth of their product portfolio and their extensive after sales service," says Mr Jackson.
"The scale of Heidelberg's consumable arm and their service focus is impressive. The warehousing and logistics, range of tested products and Online Shop are just what the market needs. Press manufacturers are in a unique position to offer a complete package including inks, plates and blankets through to service and support packages. Heidelberg recognises that and has the infrastructure in place to maximise efficiency and effectiveness," he says.
Phil Buttress, northern regional manager of Heidelberg UK, says: "Chris Jackson has valuable industry experience, technical understanding of equipment and consumables and the right 'can do' attitude. We are very pleased to welcome him to the team."
