Campbell Hughes, formerly Australasian Sales Manager with 3A Composites (previously Alcan Composites), has joined Starleaton Digital Solutions as National Sales Manager.
Starleaton is a leading distributor for 3A Composites’ KAPA, GATORFOAM, FOMECOR and FOREX rigid substrates for the graphics market.
Hughes is also a well-known identity in the framing and display market having previously spent twenty years in the family business, Hughes Mouldings, who introduced Neschen laminates and adhesives into Australia. Starleaton is now the exclusive distributor for Neschen products. He also had a spell as Queensland Branch Manager with Starleaton before joining Alcan Composites, as it was then known.
“I am delighted to be rejoining Starleaton in a national role.” says Hughes, “My three years with 3A Composites has been a fantastic experience in understanding all aspects of rigid substrates and their applications in the graphics market. This combines nicely with my long involvement in pressure-sensitive laminates and adhesives working with Hughes Mouldings.”
He continues; “Starleaton has grown considerably in the past three years, adding many new exciting product lines such as Heytex media, Enviroboard MR and the Contra Vision one-way films. I am excited to bring my full knowledge and skill-set to the SDS team and our customers in all states, with regular visits and support.”
Although continuing to be based in Brisbane, Hughes will travel extensively throughout Australia. “I couldn’t do all this without the fantastic support of my wife Sylvie and my three young daughters,” he says. In his spare time, Campbell likes nothing better than to ride his motorcycle and add to his collection of eclectic music.
Commenting on Hughes’ appointment, General Manager Ben Eaton says; “It’s great to welcome Campbell back to Starleaton as National Sales Manager. He’s an ambitious guy with a track record of success in all he undertakes. A great team player, he will add focus, direction and support to the company as we continue to grow. This will transfer to lasting benefits for our customers and the industry at large.”
