It did, however, confirm the departures of Dr Laurence Powell and Andrew Lipinski, as revealed in PrintWeek last week (PrintWeek, 9 October).
Howitt has also scotched rumours that it had made an equity investment in South African printer Printability, where its chief executive, James Elliot, is also a director.
