Ancient House appoints new Production Director

Jim Algar, formerly of Polestar, has been appointed the new Production Director at Ancient House, the Ipswich based magazine printers.

Jim Algar began his print career in 1972 serving his apprenticeship in Felixstowe; then moving across the UK, primarily with Polestar. Rising from apprentice, coming up through the ranks to Group Technical Director, he has considerable experience and says he is delighted to be back in East Anglia.

Jim says, “I love the industry! I always have! I still find the print process fascinating, bringing the materials together and converting them to the final product. Print used to be regarded as a ‘black art’ and although this is not really the case these days you still need a depth of knowledge to overcome the constant challenges being thrown at you.”

Jim has a strong team around him; his senior management team has over 100 years of print experience between them, says Ancient House.

Michael Underdown, Joint MD at Ancient House says, “Experienced staff coupled with progressive technology is enabling us to thrive in the ever-changing print environment.”
