I believe our customers will be impressed with his practical knowledge and how he can help them improve efficiencies. I welcome him to the Graphic Systems team.”
Playford describes himself as: “A keen and eager individual who loves a challenge and will go over and beyond my duties in order to see projects through to completion.
