CMYK Europe, the new branch of wide-format supplier CMYUK, has announced Konrad Zawieska as its new European service manager, as part of the group’s expansion beyond its home market
The wide-format print company has recruited a new in-house marketing manager
FaberExposize, a producer of point-of-sale (POS), event, and fabric signage, has recently welcomed Hollie Stothard as its new marketing manager.
The business has previously been commended in the industry for its focus on talent and recruitment with many employees winning awards in the industry and rising through the ranks of the company, including the recently promoted Claire Taylforth, now operations director at FaberExposize.
Taylforth also started within the role of marketing manager, with other employees winning and being nominated for awards like the Rising Star Award at the UK Graphic Awards and also The Printing Charity’s Rising Star Award.
Stothard entered the business at a busy time for the industry and got a first look at the many big topics and challenges within print at the recent Print Growth Roadshow hosted in London by Colin Sinclair McDermott aka The Online Print Coach.
Originally from Hull, Stothard is a graduate of the University of Salford and started her career in Leeds working in packaging design for FMCG clients before moving into brand, digital, and social media management.
Speaking about her new role, Stothard comments: "I'm excited to start a new chapter in my career within the print industry at FaberExposize.
“It's an exciting time to be joining the business with the expansion of the factory and devising the new marketing strategy that will help towards growing the business even further."
Having worked at design agencies in Leeds for over ten years, including a role as a project manager on packaging, branding, and digital projects for high-profile clients, Stothard felt the time was right to broaden her horizons and take the next step in her career.
Stothard has noted the strong sense of community in the industry as she has been warmly welcomed by everyone she’s met so far.
Speaking about the appointment, managing director Iain Clasper-Cotte, says: "Marketing has become a central part of our business and has been the most difficult position to hire over the past year. We wanted someone who could bring a classical marketing discipline to the role but also have a client-side understanding of our customers. Hollie ticked all these boxes for us."
Regarding her attraction to the role, Stothard adds: “I was attracted to the role particularly as it has so much scope to really make it my own and allows me to be directly involved in shaping and moving the business forward.”
