Neil Pike joined the Northampton print/print management group at the end of April to run its new 3,700m2 direct mail and transactional print facility, based just yards from the group's main production site (PrintWeek, 15 April).

Group managing director Steve Brundle confirmed  Pike had left and that a replacement had been found. Phil Brooks will take over as managing director of Print Factory Direct. He was formerly with local print firm KDM.
