Perivan appoints Croucher as White Dove MD

Perivan Group has appointed Mark Croucher as managing director of Perivan White Dove, which it bought out of administrative receivership last year (<i>PrintWeek</i>, 16 November 2001).

Croucher, who joins in November, spent seven years at St Ives Westerham Press but left his post of general manager in the summer (PrintWeek, 28 June).

Perivan has consolidated White Dove into its Leigh site in Essex, taking on 30 of the original 36 staff. It still operates a Komori from White Dove's Southend site, but is considering selling it.

Perivan Group joint managing director Philip Williams said: "It was very fortuitous that, as we brought the companies together, Mark became available. We want to be the premier league quality printer and Mark's expertise will help us achieve that."
