Bristol, United Kingdom - Narrow web ink and varnish specialist Pulse Roll Label Products Ltd kicks off 2016 with the announcement of two new appointments to support its business in both the international and UK market.  

The company has appointed George Lyle as General Manager, Asia-Pacific, reflecting the company’s strategy to continue expansion of its international business.

George previously held the senior executive position of Vice President Packaging and Narrow Web Asia at Flint Group.

Last year, Pulse Roll Label Products was named as winner of a Queen’s Award for Enterprise - the UK’s highest accolade for business success. The company received the award - a standard of commercial excellence recognised worldwide - for International Trade in 2015, in recognition of outstanding growth in overseas earnings over a period of three years.

Pulse Roll Label Products also announces the appointment of Darren Gillespie as Technical Service Manager, who will provide technical support to the company’s customers located in the North of England.
