Patrick Headley returns to print

Print Solutions

Pureprint Group has announced the return of Patrick Headley, former CEO of Go Inspire, to the print and marketing solutions industry. Patrick joins Pureprint as a non executive director to help drive the future vision of the business, working closely with shareholders and senior management.

Mark Handford, group CEO, said: ‘I am absolutely delighted Patrick has chosen to join us at this exciting time. As you would expect, he had many options available to him, but he saw the alignment between what he achieved previously and our vision for Pureprint.’

With a career spanning over three decades, Patrick led Go Inspire through a transformative period, including a successful management buyout, which culminated in the company’s acquisition by Xerox. His extensive leadership experience in navigating business growth and strategic transitions is now brought to Pureprint at a significant point in the company’s journey.

Patrick joins alongside two other experienced professionals in the print industry. Steven Pyke, former sales director at Page Bros, has recently joined Pureprint, and Ben O’Leary, a long standing Belmont Press employee, joins the commercial print sales team as of October 14.

Patrick Headley said, ‘I am thrilled. I obviously knew of Pureprint, but until I started looking more closely into the actual story and the different sectors it has work in, and then having discussed the vision with Mark, it feels like I am joining at exactly the right time. I was amazed at the high level of data capability that Pureprint has, working at the heart of many of its clients’ businesses, including several applications the company has developed that are being used in core business processes. I am really impressed with the incredible client base, and I can see the opportunities going forward are endless. I see a real opportunity to help Mark and his team deliver the next part of their strategic plan.’
