Essex-based online printer Solopress has appointed Phil Foster as its new head of business development.
Mr Foster started his career in the print industry more than 35 years ago as a plate maker in pre-press, before making the move into sales. Following a stint running his own litho printing business, Mr Foster spent seven years as senior sales executive at Saxoprint.
Managing director Simon Cooper said, ‘With his vast experience in our industry, Phil is the perfect fit for this newly created head of business development role. Not only will print buyers learn more about how our current catalogue can support their business, but we also hope to identify areas where new products and variations could better meet their needs.’
Mr Foster added, ‘I’m thrilled to be joining Solopress at this exciting point in their journey. I prefer a consultative approach over the hard sell, and I’m happy that I’ll be able to put my print knowledge to good use as I introduce the business to new customers.’
The business hopes to expand their payroll, plant list and square footage later this year.
