New MD for CFH Slough division

CFH commercial director Jon Marsh has been appointed managing director of Slough-based Print For Business, which was acquired by the transactional mailing company in October 2012.

Marsh will assume responsibility for the Slough facility, which trades as Print.uk.com, on top of his role as commercial director for the CFH group, a position he has held since 2006.

At the time of its acquisition last year, the Slough transactional mailing operation had an annual turnover of £4.5m and Marsh said that the business will have grown that to £8m by November this year.

He added: "In the last eight months we have been able to develop the synergies between the CFH and Print.uk.com businesses, maintaining and growing our client base.

"This is a very positive time for us all. We have had some significant business wins, and we are looking ahead to developing the business even further."

Looking ahead, Marsh said that he intended to push the 33-staff company's presence in the digital market and would focus specifically on its electoral print contracts.

The acquisition in October was the second for CFH in 12 months after the business bought Livingston, Scotland-based transactional mailing business FST in 2011.

CFH managing director, Dave Broadway, said the acquisitions formed part of a strategy to buy a series of regional transactional mailing businesses with turnovers of around £2m-£6m through which he intended to roll out the company's Downstream Access service, Docmail.
