Bob Caley will become group sales director with overall responsibility for all of the sales, commercial and customer care activities at both benhamgoodheadprint (bgp) and Stones the Printers.

According to Goodhead Group deputy chairman David Holland, Caley was appointed because of his experience in the industry. Prior to joining Goodhead, he was working in a sales and commercial consultancy role at Polestar Chromoworks. He also had a spell as Polestar group commercial director.

"He is very experienced in sales and marketing, but also has good experience at managing director and commercial director levels," said Holland.

New Jarrold Printings former commercial sales director Simon Rigg has joined bgp in a similar role.

"This is very exciting for me as bgp is a more versatile company," said Rigg.

Marcus Dobbs has been made sales director for the magazine sales division. Peter Simons has been promoted to sales director for directories, catalogues and coldset.

"The appointments will create a more powerful sales force in the group," said Holland.
