Premier Paper has announced a series of management changes, with Rob Viner moving to a new role as marketing director, and communications director Alan Browne leaving the company.

Browne, former co-founder and chairman of Classic Papers, will leave at the end of February 2002.

Peter Clegg replaces Viner in his role as purchasing director, having rejoined Premier from merchant Independent Paper.

Viner and Clegg will be based at Premiers head office in Manchester, and report to managing director David Rogan.

Cleggs brother, David, has also joined from Independent Paper and becomes northern web sales director, working out of Leeds.
