Print management firm Alistair McIntosh has opened a regional office in Birmingham to serve Midlands-based customers.

The new premises, which bring the firms total number of sites to 13, is staffed by sales managers Sean Bridge and Richard Slater.

Executive director John Parker said: "That area was serviced by a couple of our salesmen working from home. We have offices in almost every part of the country, so it seemed right to put down roots there.

"Weve always been a national company, and the Midlands houses a number of our most important customers and suppliers."

The company also has sites in Edinburgh, London, Chester, Bristol, Deeside and Peterborough. Clients include Asda, Bradford & Bingley, Pearl Assurance and Bank of Scotland.

* Alistair McIntoshs head office in Normanton, West Yorkshire, has won the Wakefield Design 2001 Award for the best new industrial building in the region.
