Her insight and proficiency in sales and marketing will help expand Pitney Bowes’ Solutions Factory in the Australian market,” says Murphy. “Angela’s proven track record in developing products and relationships will be invaluable in fostering customised applications of new products, transforming Pitney Bowes’ solutions and creating stronger channels of communication with our stakeholders.”
Fineline Printing MBO by ex-Salmat executive Neil Collyer
Neil Collyer, former Salmat and Fairfax executive, has undertaken a management buyout of Victorian print and communications company, Fineline Printing, after managing the business for four years.
In 2008 Collyer (pictured) became Fineline’s general manager after a four-year stint as national manager of operations at Salmat. However, he was appointed chief executive officer of the print business in 2010 after acquiring a 20 per cent share.
Prior to his position with Salmat, Collyer worked as national publications manager at Trading Post, and before that, as general manager of Fairfax Newspapers.
Industry sources indicate that Collyer spent $3 million to take over the Noble Park North-based company, which is reported as predicting a $14 million turnover this financial year. Already sporting a strong digital fleet, under Collyer’s ownership, the company looks set to grow its digital arm even further as print runs become shorter.
