InkTec Europe has promoted Michelle Thirlby to the role of operations director, overseeing the finance and service teams while also encompassing the responsibility of employee welfare and development.

InkTec Europe says it has grown over the last year as a manufacturer and supplier of large format printers, media and inks and that Ms Thirlby’s promotion reflects InkTec’s expanding operations in the UK, Europe and at its headquarters in South Korea.

Joey Kim, managing director of InkTec Europe, commented, ‘As InkTec continues to grow with new product developments being launched and more in the pipeline, it’s an ideal time for Michelle to assume the role of operations director. Her leadership will be key in further building our business and maintaining high-quality, uninterrupted customer support.’

Ms Thirlby said, ‘I’ve faced a variety of challenges during my time so far at InkTec so far, and this promotion allows me to continue building and developing the operations side of the business to push the company forwards. My core focus will be to ensure continuous operational development and support for our customers, while also working closely with the team.’
