Marcus Farci joined in January as head of new business and will be tasked with securing new clients and helping existing customers utilise the Calne, Wiltshire-based company’s full potential.
Farci first became interested in print after creating a range of t-shirts during lockdown that incorporated his own hand drawn designs. He had previously worked as a regional key account manager for an internet provider.
“I knew a little bit about screen printing as, during lockdown, I started screen printing my own t-shirts and selling them on Etsy. I enjoy being creative so it’s a fun hobby that I’ve carried on since lockdown.
“I therefore knew a little bit about the screen printing process but I didn’t know anything about the industry so it’s a new challenge for me, but one that fits with my interests.”
Farci’s role is a newly created position within the company.
“My role is looking to ensure we are being proactive and doing as much as we can to reach new customers and offer further solutions to our existing clients who may not be aware of our full portfolio of services,” he said.
“I’m looking forward to being an integral part of the business. I’m quite creative and I have lots of ideas on how we can shape future growth, including looking at untapped sectors that we can explore.
“I’m also looking forward to being part of the team. When you’re working for a company that has over 2,000 employees it’s easy to feel like you’re just a number, whereas here you feel like an important team member, and you get to know everyone. I really want to help to grow the business going forward.”
Circa 40-staff Bex Design & Print, which was acquired by engineering and manufacturing specialist Amcomri Group last year, provides industrial print and design services to a wide range of businesses in industries including electric vehicle (EV) charging, public transport, healthcare, and traffic management.
The business was originally known as Serobex and was founded in 1987 with two staff. It moved to its current premises in 1995, at which point it rebranded as Bex Design & Print.
In 2005, Ian Board became managing director and under his management the company continually invested in new kit and became a key supplier to a wide range of markets and sectors.
It has experienced recent growth and also last year reached a major milestone in its work to help create EV charging stations for the UK and Europe, producing components for its 500,000th EV charging station.
The business, which runs Inktec Jetrix and Mimaki printers, among other kit, also recently appointed a new management team to support its growth.
