After playing a key role in many landmark moments across 20 years of dedicated service, Currie Group sales and marketing director, Phillip Rennell, and Currie Group have agreed to part ways.
The move follows newly appointed Currie Group CEO Rob Mesaros’ announcement of a development in the company’s business model.
Part of this business model is a new organisational plan.
Effective immediately, Rennell’s role as sales and marketing director will no longer carry forward.
Consequently, sales and customer management of the commercial segment will fold into the broader responsibility of Bernie Robinson, in his capacity as managing director of the commercial division.
“Changes big and small continuously happen around us – in society, personally and in business,” Mesaros said.
“It is an important part of evolution. However, in today’s always on and connected world, the velocity and impact is more pronounced than ever. Changing industry dynamics requires ongoing change necessary for the success and benefit of our customers.”
Mesaros added that with its “unparalleled service coverage, cutting-edge technology and strong partnerships”, Currie Group is poised to thrive well into the future.
Currie Group also thanked Rennell for his immeasurable contribution and service to the business and wished him the best in his future endeavours.
“I’ve had an incredible journey for the last 20 plus years. I have shared many great memories with customers and suppliers alike. I could not have imagined the strong relationships forged along the way and take many of them with me on the next phase of my career,” Rennell added.
In end-January, in anticipation of servicing the Australia and New Zealand wide format market, Currie Group appointed Paul Whitehead as the wide format business unit manager following its deal with EFI.
The deal now makes Currie Group the only distributor for EFI in the A/NZ region.

Very Sad news and a great loss to the Digital industry Phil developed.
Wishing you all the success my Australian friend.
As an industry observer over many years, I too would like to add my endorsement to Phil’s contribution to our industry. Phil is such a larger-than-life character – a natural ”front man” for our industry. He is a man of conviction, of character, and a great ambassador and ”salesman” for our industry at large. I fervently hope he’ll bounce back into the industry again, in keeping with the bundle of energy he is!
