SCR Envelopes Seals Expansion With New Appointments
SCR Envelopes, a UK leader in four-colour envelope overprinting, has bolstered its team with two new strategic appointments to its Leeds-based head office to drive forward the expansion of the UK business.
- (1888PressRelease) October 27, 2010 - Richard Pennie, from Clayton West in Huddersfield, joins as business development director from Great Northern Envelopes (GNE), where he was key account sales director. In his new role, Mr Pennie will be responsible for developing and initiating key accounts with blue chip clients, using his 26 years of experience in print to maximise growth for the company.
In addition, SCR has appointed Debbie Axup as sales manager to work directly with existing customers to drive innovation and cost effective services, as well as creating tailor-made solutions to match customers' requirements. With 20 years experience in the industry at companies including Image Colour and BPIF, Debbie also joins from GNE.
The appointments follow SCR's recent merger with Lancashire printers Tower Supplies, owned by Europe's largest specialist envelope printing company, De Vroede, which increased the business by 50 per cent. The £10 million turnover company has in excess of 60 staff and alongside the main site in Leeds are two satellite offices in the North West and South East to service the local customer base.
Steve Allott, managing director of SCR Envelopes, said: "We are delighted to welcome Richard and Debbie to the team. We are dedicated to creating cost effective, innovative solutions for our customers and their experience and successful track record in the industry complements our existing team's skills. The appointments are an essential element in our UK and European expansion plans."
Mr Pennie said: "SCR's leading technology, coupled with its ambition to grow and invest, makes my new challenge at the company the most exciting to date in my career. The market is demanding innovative colour, bespoke customer offerings and cost effective solutions and SCR is well placed to capitalise on this, with five specialist four-colour overprinting presses, four with in line UV drying facilities and seven high speed two-colour presses."
