Ink specialist, Shaun Holdom, is joining IGS UK as business development manager where he will be concentrating on the rapidly growing market demand for compatible formulations used in today’s wide-format printing machines. His in-depth knowledge of this industry will enable the Maidenhead distributor to increase the range of quality products it currently supplies to sign-makers and display producers.

Holdom has been involved in the ink manufacturing sector since 1998 when he joined former manufacturer, Lyson. After seven years as product manager for the company, he moved to Ink Technologies UK where, from 2005, he worked as sales manager promoting its after-market specialist inks.

The move to IGS UK enables Holdom to become more involved in the development of new business for the ink sector, both nationally and internationally. With a thorough understanding of the criteria and formulations required for manufacturing and distributing cost-effective, compatible products, his experience will be beneficial to new and existing suppliers and end customers.

Managing director of IGS UK, Nick Wintle, comments: “Demand for our inks continues to grow and become increasingly diverse, particularly now that there is such a variety of formulations available for the different machines currently in use within the market. We look forward to the benefits of Shaun’s long-term experience and enthusiasm for developing our product range.”
