Arjo Wiggins to shuffle bosses

Arjo Wiggins has announced a raft of management changes, culminating in the departure of Fine Papers chief executive Patrick Giraud.

He will leave the company at the end of August after three years in the hot seat to work outside the industry. Jean-Pierre Brice, who will be based at Basingstoke, will replace him in the UK.

Thierry Tomasov will assume control of the coated paper division, and will be based at the Bess mill in France.

Antonio Redon, previously in charge of Latin America, will come back into Europe to take responsibility of technical papers for image and creativity, and also development in Asia.

Isabelle Shirmer will replace Jean-Pierre Brice from 9 September.
