Brother Fax

Brother UK has merged its brother printer and brother fax divisions into one headed up by Phil Jones as non-executive sales director. The company says it will now adopt a channel rather than a product-based sales structure. The restructure has resulted in six redundancies including Keith Whittle, general manager of the printer division. The company says that those made redundant have either been offered alternative positions or are being supported in seeking alternative work. At the end of this month, managing director Ted Nicholls is to retire and Hiroshi Suzuki will take over the MD role for Brother UK
