Heidelberg UK makes double appointment to drive sales

Jack has been with Heidelberg UK for 20 years in service management, branching into sales with a post-press role 10 years ago. He has now been promoted as frontline sales representative covering the Midlands area, and succeeds Forrester who has retired after 24 years with Heidelberg UK. Rimmer takes on the frontline role in the north-west region of England and North Wales. He has previously worked with Heidelberg UK on Prinect, digital and consumables sales from 2002 and 2014. His return sees him succeed Beswick who has served Heidelberg UK for 29 years, and who was named Salesman of the Year 2015.

As frontline sales representatives, Jack and Rimmer will lead a team of specialists to ensure customers in their area are aware of developments and get the best advice when investing in their production portfolio, tailored to their specific requirements.

Both will report to Phil Buttress, northern sales manager for Heidelberg UK, who said: ‘To see these two high calibre salesmen step up to the plate on the eve of drupa is fantastic. Heidelberg UK is the industry market leader, because it not only has the technologically advanced products and services, but also the right people with industry knowledge and a professional approach. Andrew and Martin follow on from two such salesmen and we are enormously grateful to Colin Forrester and Steve Beswick for their time, commitment and teamwork. They will be missed within Heidelberg UK and the industry.’

Rimmer commented that Heidelberg’s recent rebrand with a focus on business driven by market demands and customer needs, coupled with its consultancy services, technology offer and the ability to supply turnkey options, will ‘enable customers to run even more reliably and efficiently’.
