Heidelberg’s new UK finance director, Simon Gamble
Simon Gamble has joined Heidelberg UK as finance director, succeeding Roderich Kirschenlohr who has returned to Germany but still remains within the Heidelberg Group.
Gerard Heanue, managing director, said, ‘Roderich has done great work for Heidelberg UK and we are very sorry to lose him. He is a hard act to follow but by bringing someone in from outside the company and printing, we will benefit from a fresh approach. It will enable us to capitalise on some of Simon’s wide experience in other related sectors.’
The majority of Mr Gamble’s work experience has been in the telecoms sector, in companies such as Cable & Wireless, Level 3 Communications and BT.
‘Heidelberg UK has not been immune to tough times but it has come through in good shape and the attribute that strikes you coming in to the business is how positive the Heidelberg staff are, how strong their ‘can do’ approach is and the energy with which they tackle their work,’ said Mr Gamble. ‘The average length of service here is incredible, something many companies must envy.’
