Solopress has appointed Sarah Kilcoyne to the newly created role of sales and customer success director. She will report directly to MD Simon Cooper. 

Kilcoyne joins Solopress from Bluetree, where she spent 14 years and held various positions, including head of sales at Route 1, and most recently as deputy general manager of Kingsbury Press. She joins Solopress as it celebrates 25 years in business and is undergoing ongoing organisational changes and investment. Kilcoyne’s new responsibilities will include customer acquisition and retention, developing Solopro (the company’s bespoke account management service) and overseeing all aspects of customer support.

Cooper said of the appointment: “Recent growth has demanded that we create a high-level strategic position within our senior management team to oversee sales and customer experience, and Sarah is the perfect fit. I think it speaks to the great strides Solopress has made in terms of brand status, production capacity and corporate culture that we’re able to attract top talent like Sarah from within our industry.”

Kilcoyne added: “Solopress is the rising star of print, and my appointment is an amazing opportunity to be part of the next stage of its growth. I was very much drawn to the progressive management style and workplace culture here, and I look forward to driving new business, consolidating Solopress’ renowned service levels and identifying new service offerings that can benefit customers.”
