Httprint group managing director Barry Hibbert has added another senior Polestar staffer to his top team.
Tim Smith, formerly Polestars creative services director, takes up the position of director of marketing at the web-based print procurement portal on 1 July.
Hibbert has also recruited ex-REM Colour Print works director Paul Ballinger as commercial manager.
"The team is building up nicely, and theres a few more in the pipeline," said Hibbert, who added that Httprint now has around 375 printers registered for its service "we signed up 60 in the last two days".
The Httprint team already includes ex-Polestar manager Rob North and former PPS web sales manager Norman Revill. Hibbert said that he expected to increase staff numbers from 15 to around 25 by the middle of July.
