Fujifilm has promoted Chris Broadhurst to head of offset, with former national sales manager Andy Kent replacing him as general manager of the Graphics Systems Division. 

Mr Broadhurst, who was responsible for Fujifilm’s Platesense programme, will be based in Düsseldorf and will be tasked with bringing further innovation to the company’s European offset business. 

‘I’m excited about this new challenge,’ said Mr Broadhurst. ‘Despite being at the forefront of the rapid advances in digital print technology in recent years, Fujifilm has never lost sight of the importance of innovation in offset print processes and technology.’

Mr Broadhurst’s replacement, Andy Kent, brings more than 30 years of industry experience to his new role and will be based at Fujifilm’s Bedford HQ. ‘I’m delighted to be taking on the role of divisional manager of Fujifilm Graphic Systems UK,’ Mr Kent said. ‘Fujifilm is a forward-thinking company, at the forefront of technology developments in both the offset and inkjet sectors of our industry. New developments in our Acuity, Onset X and Jet Press ranges have all been made recently and there is still more to come.’
