Cartridge World’s new chairman

Cartridge World has named a former tobacco industry executive as its new chairman.

The Harrogate firm, a major provider of refilled printer cartridges, said John Richardson will take over from Peter Hawkins, who has retired.

Mr Richardson joins after a 30-year career in international business including time spent at Trafalgar House Group and British American Tobacco, where he held executive leadership roles in finance and general management.

He said: “The company has a proven business model, providing a high quality product to the consumer, delivering real savings and a clear environmental benefit through our recycling effort.”

Mark Holland, UK general manager for Cartridge World, said: “With John’s consumer focused multi-market skills he will bring a great deal of knowledge and experience to the business.”

The appointment follows the firm’s multi-million dollar global recapitalisation process completed last month.
