TONY Manser is the new managing director of design and colour lithographic printers Cedar in Southampton.
He has taken over from company founder Roy Matthews, who is now chairman on the new board of directors.
Roy has been running the company in Royal Crescent Road since 1971 and has been looking for a suitable candidate for the last two years.
He said: "I believe we have found the right person in Tony to take the company forward. Tony has over 30 years experience in the industry, 20 of which have been spent in senior management roles."
Andrew Heathcock of Southampton lawyers Paris Smith & Randall, a customer, was instrumental in helping form the new board of directors and advising Roy through the process.
