According to the company, Stephen (pictured) will now “lead the Print Media business in Asia-Pacific as Senior Vice President for Print Media Asia” in addition to his current role.

The move comes as the company announced a global “customer oriented organisation restructure aimed at enabling customers to have full access to Flint Group’s broad product portfolio through a single sales contact, supported by in-depth technical support.”

“We want to make doing business with us easier and more efficient for our print media customers by offering a main contact person at Flint Group to cover the total range of products and services for their business,” said chief executive Charles Knott.

“After the major acquisitions between 2004 and 2007 we focused our efforts on the physical integration of the various companies that formed Flint Group as it is today.

“However, to foster growth we proactively want to pick up our customers in their places by adapting our organisation to fit to the markets our customers operate in. So while the decision to reorganise was taken as a proactive step long before the economic crisis became apparent, I would consider it the right move at the right time.”

The company also announced that it will close two of its sites in the UK, with the loss of roughly 100 jobs.
