PrintReleaf appoints Tony Milford
PrintReleaf, the patented sustainability platform, has appointed Tony Milford to lead its UK and European expansion. Milford brings more than 25 years of experience working directly with MPS dealers, distributors, OEMs and software providers. His career spans senior commercial and leadership roles at Vantage, Asolvi and multiple SaaS and workflow businesses. “Tony has spent his entire career alongside dealers, distributors and manufacturers, understanding their realities and what truly supports their success,” said Jordan Darragh, founder and CEO of PrintReleaf. “He knows how sustainability can drive commercial value by helping them differentiate, strengthen customer relationships and offer something with real credibility behind it. We’re delighted to
have him driving our next phase of growth in the UK and Europe.” Tony said the decision to join PrintReleaf felt natural and timely. “I’ve watched the MPS market evolve for more than 25 years, and today more than ever businesses need solutions that are commercially sensible and genuinely impactful,” he said. “PrintReleaf delivers both. It gives partners a transparent, independently audited sustainability solution that integrates with the data they already use, and it works just as well for small businesses as it does for major organisations. That’s a rare combination – and exactly what the market needs. “I’m looking forward to working closely with dealers, distributors, manufacturers, and the wider MPS, commercial print, and packaging communities.” n
