Pitney Bowes appoints ex-Oce and Riso MD

Pitney Bowes Management Services (PBMS) – the outsourcing arm of mail and messaging systems company Pitney Bowes – has appointed Richard Thompson as managing director of its UK operation. Thompson has 20 years’ sales and marketing management experience, during which time he headed up the production printer division within Oce UK and was managing director of Oce Ireland and vice president of sales and marketing within Oce USA. More recently Thompson was the managing director of Riso UK.

Thompson commented: ‘Our mission is to create value and competitive advantage for our customers through the provision of best-practice and integrated business process systems across the entire mailstream.

With de-regulation of the postal market and all the associated challenges and opportunities of an open market ahead of us, this is an extremely exciting time to be joining the company.’
