In a special session, the Executive Board of MAN Roland Western Europe Group has officially ratified Mr Revill's appointment to the top position in the company. The former Web Director will take leadership of the UK arm of the global printing leader with effect from August 1st 2006.

Mr Revill is widely regarded to be one of the leading industry experts and has earned this appointment through a string of successes as the organisation's Web Division Director, a post he has held for the last six years, with several major press orders for the UK's newspaper sector featuring in his most recent successes.

Mr Revill takes over leadership of the firm from Chris Marks, who held the post temporarily following management changes earlier in the year. Mr Marks will shortly be taking a well earned retirement from the company following 14 years of service with MAN Roland.

Commenting on his promotion, Mr Revill said; "I am feeling very, very honoured to have been given this position - it is something that I have been working towards for a long time. I am certainly looking forward to the fresh set of challenges that this new and exciting role will bring," said Norman. "The company is already beginning to prosper under its newly acquired independent status, as illustrated by the recently released six-monthly sales figures from MAN Roland. The mood within the company is very buoyant, and we are all very confident about the future success of the business. It is important to aim high and our goal is to be seen as the number one player in the print machinery market and to drive this business to another dimension."

Forty-eight year-old Norman has worked with MAN Roland GB for 17 years. He is married with four children, and a fifth on the way.
