CreoScitex salesmen Martin Mayo and Colin Price have quit to join rival Turning Point Technologies.
Both were part of CreoScitexs six-strong direct sales team. Mayo covered the Midlands and Price covered the North West.
CreoScitex UK sales director Mark Nixon said: "It gives us the opportunity to get some new blood. We were already interviewing to expand direct sales due to new products in packaging and flexo."
The duo, who handed in their notice the week before last, are on gardening leave and will join TPT in August.
TPT declined to comment on the appointments prior to the two starting in their new roles.
TPT ceased being a CreoScitex reseller a month ago after it started selling the Fuji range of pre-press equipment. Nixon described the decision as "mutual".
