London, Gb

Communisis delivers multi channel marketing solutions for its clients while the Leeds site in particular focuses on direct and transactional mail solutions for its customer base. The role reported to the multi site general manager and had responsibility for the whole of the client facing operation as well as the factory and warehouse functions. The environment was project focused and extremely complex. On arrival an immediate stabilisation plan was required to turn around what was an under performing business and had to be matched with an equally robust customer relationship improvement plan with such prestigious clients as Barclays and Nationwide. This turn around rapidly developed into building longer term strategies and opportunities to drive growth in particular through NPD, more flexible offerings and the internalisation of sub-contracted work. In addition, and in spite of significant capital expenditure restrictions, a £2M investment was made in 4 state of the art enclosing lines which revolutionised our post print operations. All aspects of the project were led and managed by myself and incorporated senior stakeholder management, supplier contract negotiation with group procurement and line installation/ramp up.
