Former production manager Harry Gould has joined as production and customer services manager and Mike Rowland, formerly customer services representative, has kept the same role.
They join former Graphoprint commercial sales director Vic Rollinson, now sales director, and Martin Rogers who joined as print manager.
The Website (Leeds) – an independent trade web offset company – has also installed a second press – a secondhand, 32pp eight unit twin web Polyman for an undisclosed sum. It has spine gluing, a re-moist glue unit and a coater for aqueous varnish.
Rollinson said: "Our plan is to run one of the machines on press finished products the majority of the time.
"This will give us the back up and security that some of the larger print buyers are looking for."
The installation is in progress and should be complete by middle of September. The company is also expecting to become FSC and PEFC certification in the next few weeks.
Production ceased at North Wales-based Graphoprint last year after administrators KPMG made all but 12 of its 192 staff redundant.

A number of senior former Graphoprint staff have been taken on at The Website (Leeds), just over a year after the North Wales-based web offset printer went into administration.
