AN Inverclyde printing company has strengthened its executive team with the appointment of a prominent Scottish business figure as a non-executive director.
Port Glasgow-based Love & Humphries, which bills itself as The Clever Printing Company, has secured the services of Malcolm Morrison, a business strategist and transformation specialist described as having a proven track record in scaling up organisations.
It is the latest in a number of non-executive roles assumed by Mr Morrison, a former Clydesdale Bank partner and Santander relationship director, who is also director of Highland-based timber and biomass producer GMG Energy.
He will provide independent oversight and offer guidance on a wide range of issues, especially those which relate to small and medium enterprises.
Philip Wilson, director of Love & Humphries, said, “Everyone in the firm is delighted that we have been able to attract a business personality of Malcolm Morrison’s calibre for the important non-exec role. He has a huge range of experience in a wide variety of different sectors and has made valuable contributions to other enterprises across Scotland. I am sure that he will be instrumental in helping us to focus on our business goals.
“The print industry in Scotland has always been a challenging environment, especially at a time when technology is changing so fast and altering the way we operate. We are very pleased to have Malcolm on board to assist us with these challenges and opportunities.”
Malcolm Morrison added, “Love & Humphries may be a small business at the moment, but I am sure that there is terrific potential within Philip and his team, as they have proven by opening up new avenues for business expansion, including exports. I will be delighted to offer my experience to assist growth in the company in any way I can and I look forward very much to working with them.”
Love & Humphries has recently secured a significant order from a US customer for SuperTuffMenus, a type of wipeable, washable menu card used by brands to enhance presentation. It has printed poetry books for clients and made strides with uncoated paper, using UV curing inks to speed up drying times and avoid production hold-ups.
