Andrew Brigham, previously Cartor Security Printers’ commercial director, has taken up the new position of managing director.

He will be replacing his father, Ian Brigham, who becomes the firm’s chairman, with key responsibilities for the French division and technical sales.

Ian became involved in stamp production in the 1990s when he joined Walsall Security Printers. As a then competitor, Cartor was prevalent in Asia and some European countries, until in 2004, they were acquired by Walsall Security Printers. In 2008, following a management buyout, Ian became managing director. In 2021, the group, consisting of International Security Printers (ISP), Walsall Security Printers (WSP), and France-based Cartor Security Printing, rebranded to become Cartor Security Printers.

Mr Brigham said, ‘This move is all part of planned progression, as I found myself taking more of a back seat and leaving Andrew to look after the day-to-day running of the company. We both very much look forward to the next chapter in Cartor’s history.’
