We are very pleased to announce that Tom Oldershaw has joined us as Strategic Solutions Director. Tom joins from Webmart where he spent over five years in senior positions, most recently as Client Services Director.
Tom has over 20 years’ experience in the printing industry where he has gained invaluable experience and reputation as a forward thinking, customer focused leader with a strong understanding of multi-channel marketing.
He joins at an exciting time, to develop a strategy to grow the newly created Eight Group which incorporates Eight Days A Week Print Solutions (EDWPS), Eight Plus and our emerging digital services offering, alongside other opportunities that are in the pipeline.
Group Managing Director Lance Hill comments “Its fantastic to have Tom on board, he brings a different type of experience and expertise which is exactly what we need to facilitate our next stage of growth. I’ve known Tom since his time at Eclipse when I was at 4DM and we’ve always kept in touch, so this is a really nice fit for both of us, especially as we share the same values and vision”.
Co-founder and Director of Eight Plus Rob Moules also added his views “Tom’s appointment is an integral part of the Eight Group’s strategic development over the next few years. Tom’s experience and energy will help support and drive to achieve those ambitious targets. We are excited to welcome him to the Group and to seeing how we can collectively continue to innovate and develop our best in class offering.”
Tom is also very positive about his new position “I’ve watched the growth and development of the company over the past few years and it’s very impressive. When Lance and I spoke, it was obvious that the next steps in the development of the group matched perfectly with my experience in the complimentary services to print and direct mail. The potential to expand our offering to new and existing clients making us a more strategic partner is huge and something I’m very proud to be able to come on board and drive forward. I can’t wait to get stuck in and work closely with both the teams and our clients.”
