December also marks the commencement of a well deserved retirement for current General Manager John Shore who will leave the business after five years in the top job. “John has successfully transitioned the business from almost entirely analogue to the new digital pre-press technologies that are now common place” said Dehing “Such technologies have bought about enormous change in management not only for our customers but ourselves as well, and I thank John for leaving Agfa a company best placed to take advantage of the new digital environment we now operate in”
