from a traditional printing operation into a leading pan European provider of
integrated manufacturing and support services for the IT industry. Between 1974

which was as a partner with responsibility for corporate finance and practice
development.

and proven track record in growing profitable IT businesses internationally and
brings a unique blend of commercial and financial expertise."
