Pureprint Group welcomes new group operations director

Print Solutions

Pureprint Group has announced the appointment of Glenn Hylands as group operations director, a newly created role introduced as the company enters its centennial year and continues to scale digital capability.

Glenn joins Pureprint from CPI, where he spent two decades building deep expertise across digital manufacturing. His experience includes leading multiple production sites, installing next generation inkjet and bindery technologies, and delivering major workflow transformations, including championing print on-demand innovation for the publishing sector.

In his new role, Glenn will be focusing on integrating Pureprint's expanding digital print sites and driving key group wide operational projects.

His appointment follows Pureprint’s acquisition of Ashford Colour Press in late 2024, a specialist in inkjet and publishing markets, alongside significant investment and upgrades across both its Gosport and Uckfield digital platforms.

Mark Handford, CEO, Pureprint Group, said: ‘We are delighted to welcome Glenn to the Pureprint team. His depth of experience in inkjet manufacturing and the publishing sector is a fantastic addition, particularly following our acquisition of Ashford Colour last year. Glenn’s expertise complements our existing teams as we continue to build our expanding digital and on-demand offering across both our Uckfield HQ and Gosport sites. Bringing our manufacturing sites closer together is a key focus for the year ahead, and Glenn will play an important role in driving that.’

Glenn added, ‘I am delighted to be joining Pureprint. The business has an impressive reputation for quality and innovation, and the opportunity to contribute to its next stage of evolution is genuinely exciting.’
