The appointment follows a sharp increase in UK business and a successful Drupa for the firm, where it reported sales of over £500,000 from UK companies alone.

Richard Mason, UK sales manager for Duplo, said: “The sales role in any business is an essential one, but for Duplo, the business manager provides a crucial link between the company and the printer, who in turn lies at the heart of the industry.”

Windus, who has worked in the industry for a number of years with the likes of London Graphic Centre and Lyreco, will be responsible for driving the company’s sales in the South East.
