Stagg had worked at SMP Group for more than 26 years; he quipped that he had worked at the Greenwich POS and OOH specialist “man and boy”.
In his new role he has moved from south to north of the river, joining Bow-based Augustus Martin last week as director of new business development.
Augustus Martin also specialises in POS and out-of-home environments.
“I’m still very ambitious, and I feel that I’ve fulfilled those ambitions at SMP so this is the next phase of my career,” Stagg told Printweek.
“Augustus Martin is a huge outfit and there’s a real opportunity to make a difference. The retail market is getting bigger in terms of new opportunities such as in-store theatre. The results are measurable, and I’m really excited.”
Augustus Martin’s services include creative design, print manufacturing, warehousing and logistics, and installation and compliance.
The firm was a multi-award winner at this year’s Printweek Awards.
The £31.3m turnover business also has its own in-house ink lab and ink making facilities.
“The people here have been really welcoming, and it’s all really positive,” Stagg added.
