Brother UK makes two promotions to senior leadership team
Brother UK has made two promotions into its senior leadership team, as the firm establishes new distinct business lines to support its strategic growth plans. Greig Millar and Terry Caulfield have been appointed to new roles, reporting directly to managing director Phil Jones. The posts were created following the retirement of sales and marketing director Andy Forsyth, after 11 years with the business and a 40-year long career in business technology. Greig becomes chief revenue officer from serving as general manager for sales as part of a 20-year long career with Brother UK. He is responsible for leading Brother’s sales team and partner strategy – establishing deeper relationships with reseller partners to mutually drive managed print services (MPS) sales opportunities. Terry has been appointed chief commercial officer to lead the vendor’s category management, and specialist printing solutions division, having previously held the general manager position for products and solutions. Terry will focus on driving strategic growth
in Brother UK’s target verticals across retail, transport and logistics and hospitality. “The print sector is rapidly evolving, and the new structure of reporting lines will help us to respond to those changes faster and with greater precision,” said Phil. “We’re giving resellers the comprehensive backing they need to meet the growing demand for Print-as-a-Service with MPS and take advantage of the excellent opportunities in rapidly growing verticals, like transport and logistics, with our specialised high-speed labelling solutions. “It’s these priorities that Greig and Terry are focused on delivering. Both are highly experienced with decades of channel experience and we’re more determined than ever to grow and add value to our partners and end users.” Greig and Terry will sit alongside Louise Marshall (director of ESG & OD), Stuart Maclean (chief financial officer), Keith Howe (director of supply chain & service) and Mike Anderson (chief marketing officer) on the senior leadership team.
