“It’s an exciting time at Danwood Wales and I am thrilled to have been given the opportunity to escalate the company to its next stage of development – continuing to build an enviable reputation for high quality printing services, which are delivered through leading edge innovation and backed by excellent customer service.
“Furthermore, I have been working with Danwood for eight and a half years, it’s a great company to work for and I’m pleased to see my commitment to helping the company develop has been recognised. I am thoroughly looking forward to the new challenges this position will pose.”
Steve Hibbert, Group Sales Director of the Danwood Group, remarked: “Ever since Richard joined the company, he has made a great impression and has proven himself to be a highly skilled sales and business individual, which has been rewarded by high level promotions.
“Richard is a natural leader, has an excellent understanding of Danwood Wales’ business model and has been instrumental to the company’s achievements in Wales so far. I have no doubt that he will excel in his new role, steering Danwood Wales to achieve its aggressive growth target.”
