Following the retirement of Domino Printing Sciences’ CEO Nigel Bond, Robert Pulford has been appointed to take over the leadership role. Mr Pulford has been with the company for 23 years, most recently as managing director of the digital printing solutions division.
Under Mr Bond’s leadership, Domino won numerous Queen’s Awards for innovation and export, and grew from a stock value of £75 million to a £1 billion business by the time it was sold to Brother Industries in 2015. Presiding over 20 acquisitions, he also oversaw the integration of technology manufacturers, such as Sator Laser and Citronix, and former distribution partners Domino Sweden and Domino MarqueTDI in Portugal.
‘I’ve had over 20 memorable years with Domino,’ said Mr Bond. ‘I am proud to have led such a committed and talented team that has driven innovation and produced groundbreaking and award-winning technologies.
‘I’m delighted that Robert will be taking over as Domino’s new CEO. He is a strong leader with a proven track record of success both within and outside Domino.’
Mr Pulford has been part of the group’s executive management team for 14 years and has led the digital printing solutions division for the last six years. He has been responsible for driving the growth of digital printing products into direct printing, label and packaging markets, as well as other broader industrial applications. Joining as a service manager, and later becoming general manager within the UK domestic business, Mr Pulford’s other roles have included group product management, group marketing and general manager of the company’s European businesses, as well as leading the new product development programme for its i-Tech products, and the integration of a number of acquisitions.
Mr Pulford commented, ‘I’m honoured to be taking up the position of CEO and look forward to carrying on Nigel’s legacy. My goal is to support the wider team to drive business growth in all areas and build on Domino’s reputation as a leading provider of coding and marking and digital printing equipment.’
