Board reshuffle at Communisis

MARKETING giant Communisis has undergone a board reshuffle as it embarks on its “next phase of growth”.

Two members of the board will step down from the board from 31 January 2016. They will leave the Group on 31 January 2017.

Dave Rushton will step down as group managing director.

Under the operational restructure, each divisional managing director will report directly to the chief executive.

Nigel Howes was made an executive director in 2010, before which he had a three-year stint as non-executive director.

He became finance director in 2011, and subsequently strategic and corporate development director in 2014.

His responsibilities will be assumed by the chief executive and the finance director.

Peter Hickson, chairman of Communisis plc commented:”The Board is grateful for the considerable contributions made by both Dave and Nigel over many years.

“They have each committed a significant portion of their professional lives to the development and growth of our Group. On behalf of the Board, we wish them both well for the future.”

Last March, the company announced a £10.6m investment in the region.
