Wyndeham announces new Management Board
Tuesday 14. April 2009 - Wyndeham Press Group Limited today announces a new Management Board to head up the Groups seven printing, pre-press and creative businesses.
The formation of this Board places new emphasis on the Group-wide operational management of Wyndeham following its acquisition by Walstead Investments Limited in December 2008, and the subsequent financial restructuring.
In addition to Wyndehams Chief Executive, Paul Utting, the new Board consists of existing Chairman, Kevin Lyon, and the Group Finance Director, as well as Managing Directors from four subsidiaries who will each continue to retain their existing responsibilities:
Dave Emeny, Managing Director, Wyndeham Heron will be responsible for the Groups sales and business development.
Barry Fitzpatrick, Managing Director, Wyndeham Pre-Press and Masterpiece, will be responsible for Group technical development and the integration of pre-press services into the print manufacturing businesses.
Ian Mackintosh, Managing Director, Wyndeham Print Direct will use his experience in implementing continuous improvement and lean manufacturing techniques at Print Direct, Stockport, to deliver similar initiatives within the Group.
Ian Tarry, Managing Director, Wyndeham Impact will be responsible for Group restructuring activity.
Paul Utting said: “These Managing Directors have specialist skills and extensive experience which are relevant in a wider group context and not just at site level. In the current economic environment it is important to use existing skills in the business as broadly as possible and this new Board will provide the best platform to improve the prospects of the Group.”
Wyndehams new Management Board will report to the Board of Walstead Investments Limited, which consists of investors Richard Fookes, Stephen Hargrave and Mark Scanlon, as well as Paul Utting and Kevin Lyon, Wyndehams Chief Executive and Chairman.
