Neil Williams has joined Durst as UK and Ireland business development manager for the Northern region.
Mr Williams brings a wealth of experience to the role after more than 30 years in printing and packaging, including working for companies such as Sericol, Fujifilm, Inca and EFI.
His responsibility covers Durst’s portfolio, as well as software, support service and other integration packages.
Mr Williams said, ‘Durst is the recognised market leader and I look forward to introducing its broad product portfolio, software and support services to new clients, as well as continuing to build relationships with its impressive customer base.
‘I work on the ethos of giving full support to the customer. When that is done successfully, they come back again for a second, third or even more machines and services. Durst’s brand sells itself and I am looking forward to the opportunities ahead with a company that is constantly pushing the boundaries in terms of solutions.’
Peter Bray, managing director at Durst UK and Ireland, said, ‘With a wealth of experience in the packaging and print sectors, we are delighted to welcome him to the Durst family.’
He joins Simon Cosh in strengthening the inkjet printing specialist’s UK team. Mr Williams succeeds Richard Bates, who is retiring at the end of the year after almost a decade with Durst following a 46-year career.
Mr Bray said, ‘I want to put on record our sincere thanks for Richard’s significant contribution to the UK and Ireland business for almost a decade. We wish him a long and happy retirement.’
