Long-serving Koenig & Bauer sales director Chris Scully has been given the added role of UK managing director with the departure of Andrew Pang.

The company says the new role aligns with its global structure.

Scully (pictured) has headed sales in the UK for 18 years.

Board member Ralf Sammeck thanked Andrew Pang for his service over almost a decade, leaving the UK subsidiary well-positioned for the future. “We feel that now is the right time to complete the process of merging responsibility for sales and operations in line with other regional subsidiaries where it has proved successful and very effective.

“With Chris Scully and (finance director) Stephanie Thomson, and (service director) Peter Banks, we have a successful management team at the helm of Koenig & Bauer UK that will react with speed and agility to customer requests and thus make a decisive contribution to our continued success," he said.
