Gilchrist sets up growth team

Gilchrist has set up a business development team operating from its London and Leeds offices.

The four-strong team is part of the firm's growth plan and currently includes four people, but it is in the process of adding further "high-powered" people.

Business development manager Dennis Jagger, who is based at the firm's Leeds site, joined the firm from Beverley-based Trident UK.

At the firm's London site, Ken Birch, who was formerly production director, has been appointed client services director, studio manager Mark Lee has expanded his role to include sales and new business. They have been joined by marketing and administration manager Selina Eldridge.

The team will be looking to grow the packaging side of the business in London.

Managing director Paul Bean said further appointments at Leeds were also on the cards.
