Fujifilm Graphics Systems has appointed Jack Cresswell Print & Graphic Supplies as its first dealer for the city of Birmingham.
The four-year-old family firm will sell Fujis film, plates and ancillary products in the West Midlands. It won the dealership after approaching Fuji.
Jack Cresswell is Fujis 25th UK local dealer. Bousfield is the groups sole national dealer.
Managing director Jack Cresswell said the dealership would enhance our plans for the firm to develop further. It plans to launch a website, www.jackcresswell. co.uk, in the next month. Cresswell has over 20 years pre-press experience.
Fuji business development manager for dealers Jim Dale said the group wasnt looking to take on any more dealers as its network now covered the whole of the UK.
But he claimed graphics suppliers looking to take up dealerships were approaching him twice a week on average.
