GMG UK managing director Ian Scott appointed MD of GMG Worldwide
GMG UK managing director Ian Scott has been appointed managing director of GMG Worldwide. His appointment follows the departure of CEO Paul Willems from the colour management software developer.
Scott will be working closely with GMG’s owners and managing directors, Joerg and Robert Weihing, in continuing the company’s ongoing growth plan and product development strategy.
Having worked with GMG for eight years, the last two as managing director of GMG UK, and with more than 20 years working in the graphic arts industry under his belt, Scott is familiar with the industry.
“Working closely with Robert and Joerg Weihing will be terrific; we all bring different skill-sets to the table and have a lot of respect for each other. Paul Willems has left GMG in a fantastic position. He did a great job and has left us a strong and dynamic company. I am very excited to join the management team and help shape the GMG’s future.”
Robert Weihing says of Scott’s appointment: “Few people know our product portfolio as well as he does. We will pursue our growth strategy with great determination to ensure we realise the enormous potential that GMG has. Our recent acquisition of Aurelon is an important strategic move to achieve our ambitious growth targets in the large-format print production market. In addition, beyond the existing product development plans, we see enormous potential for new, innovative, ideas and we are excited about Fespa and Drupa 2012 where we will have a strong presence.”
