Wilbourn, who has worked in the print sector for more than 20 years in areas such as product development, technical services and format design, said: "The offering insight and enthusiasm at the organisation is second-to-none.

"To be working with some familiar faces from the past is a real bonus and I look forward to providing clients with solutions from the company’s wide range of products and services."

Last month, Leicester-based GI Direct expanded its transactional service with the installation of three Konica Minolta presses.

The company bought a Bizhub C8000 and C7000 colour presses, as well as a Bizhub Pro 1200 high speed monochrome machine.
