Ian Scott is new Managing
Director at GMG Worldwide.
Ian Scott has been appointed as Managing Director, GMG
Worldwide. His appointment follows the departure of CEO
Paul Willems who has decided to dedicate himself to new
professional challenges.
Ian will be working closely with GMG’s owners & Managing
Directors, Joerg and Robert Weihing, in continuing the company’s
on-going growth plan and product development strategy, building
on GMG's reputation of innovation and quality. Having spent
more than twenty years working in the graphic arts industry, Ian is
thoroughly familiar with every aspect of the industry.
Ian has worked with GMG for eight years, the last two as Managing Director of GMG UK. He sees
his new appointment as a great opportunity. “Working closely with Robert and Joerg Weihing will
be terrifi c – we all bring different skill-sets to the table and have a lot of respect for each other.
Paul Willems has left GMG in a fantastic position. He did a great job and has left us a strong and
dynamic company. I am very excited to join the management team and help shape the GMG’s
future.”
Robert Weihing says of Ian Scott’s appointment: “Few people know our product portfolio as well as
Ian. He’s totally aware of our customers needs, and he has a talent for spotting future trends in the
printing industry. He will bring a lot of energy, experience and ideas to the table. I couldn’t think of
a better person to build on the success of recent years.”
GMG staff shock local
fi sherman.
As a deep pan-European weather front brought
fl ooding to many parts of Europe, fi sherman on the
banks of the Neckar in Southern Germany almost fell
off their water-proof stools into the murky grey river as
a 'party boat' drifted passed with Mungo Jerry's In the
Summertime blaring blaring from large speakers.
Also on board the vessel, seemingly unaware of
the torrential rain, staff from GMG headquarters in
Germany were drinking the local brew and enjoying
a barbeque. Nothing it seems was going to stop their
annual Summer Party. Besides, they would have lost
their deposit on the boat trip if they had cancelled.
Before the party boat, the team had spent a short time
at the zoo 'Wilhelma' in Stuttgart. On the right is a
photograph to prove it.
