Two appointments, Will Hearn as sales executive and Dominic Mannion as technical engineer, have been made at GMG, the developer of colour management and proofing solutions.
Mr Hearn began working within the graphics supplies sector over 20 years ago, selling consumables and graphic arts equipment to printers, designers, advertising agencies and pre-press companies, followed by a senior sales and technical role with a leading UK supplier. For the last four years, he has been sales director for EC2i Limited, a catalogue pre-press services organisation, where he worked closely with high street retail brands and became involved with the production and marketing of B2C, as well as B2B promotional media. Mr Hearn will be responsible for the Southern Region.
Toby Burnett, managing director, said, ‘Will joins GMG with a wealth of experience in repro and print and his appointment will enable us to continue to expand our customer base in the UK. His experience with brand owners and creative organisations will broaden GMG Color into new areas of the industry.’
Mr Mannion has worked in the industry in both a production and technical support capacity since 1988, initially as a specialist flexo film planner before moving into digital pre-press. For the past seven years, he has provided field service engineering support for Presstek encompassing CTP, workflow and Fogra standard proofing systems. His expertise spans installation, training, maintenance, troubleshooting and remote diagnostics. Mr Mannion will be based in GMG’s regional office in Leeds.
Mr Burnett said, ‘Dominic’s introduction to the technical team in the north will galvanise our ability to provide clients with support. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the processes involved in flexo, and the technology being adopted by packaging companies, and has lots of experience of working with industry standard workflows.’
