Comic Relief is a fantastic cause, knowing the money goes a long way to help improve lives all over the world, we’re proud to have been able to give just a little towards this.”

Former Danwood director to focus on
furthering on-going growth into Europe.
Steve HibbertApogee Corporation is delighted to announce that Steve Hibbert, former UK Group Sales Director and CEO of Danwood USA, will be joining Apogee’s Senior Management Team. Steve has enjoyed a long and distinguished career and brings with him an almost unparalleled knowledge of the digital document solutions industry as well as a proven track record in helping businesses to grow strategically in this sector.
As Strategy Director, reporting directly to Apogee’s Board, Steve’s focus will be on furthering Apogee’s on-going growth into Europe and to achieve Apogee’s determination to be the UK’s largest independent Managed Document Services specialist.
Commenting on his new appointment as Strategy Director with Apogee Corporation, Steve Hibbert said “I am excited at the opportunities that Apogee will present as it has long been recognised as a successful, pioneering and forward thinking organisation at the forefront of change. I look forward to bringing my experience and strategic abilities, developed in the last 25 years working in this market place around the world, to assist in Apogee’s drive into Europe and its continuing growth in the UK to meet its ambitious goals in developing new and existing markets.“
Apogee is no stranger to accelerated growth in recent years, having demonstrated an average growth of more than 25 per cent year-on-year, both through strong organic expansion and through the completion of an impressive 17 strategic acquisitions throughout the UK.
This success was recognised in 2012 in Deloitte’s Futures 1000 survey of organisations making an outstanding contribution to the prosperity of the UK.
Roger Goodman, Chairman of the Apogee Board and Co-Founder of Mitie plc, a FTSE 250 conglomerate commented, “We are delighted that Steve has seen the opportunity a business like Apogee has to offer him. We have the tools, the capabilities, the drive and the focus to become a leader in Managed Document Services throughout Europe and we are thrilled that with Steve’s unique industry expertise on board, we can push forward with even more resolve.”
As the digital document solutions market continues to evolve over the coming weeks, Apogee’s focus will continue to be on growth through its clear ability to deliver a solid organic performance, augmented by a number of acquisitions which are already in the later stages of negotiation, both in the UK and throughout Europe.

Robert Kennedy’s grandson running for Congress
Joe KennedyThe Kennedy dynasty is still sacred to many in the States and right now a young red headed 32 year old grandson of assassinated Robert Kennedy is out on the hustings (stump) trying to secure his first political job.
Joe Kennedy 111 is running for Congress in Massachusetts’s Fourth District and is making it clear to everyone that he has a lot more to offer than his family name.
However the spirit of his grandfather and his famous brothers means that Kennedy 111 is followed everywhere by a band of elderly Kennedy supporters who aim to revive a dynasty.
He graduated from Harvard Law School and worked for only two years as a state prosecutor before deciding to run for congress.
His rival, Sean Bielat, a former US marine has said that he is ‘a guy with a famous name and no qualifications’.
To other Republican commentators he is seen as a possible return to a hereditary monarchy which they fought so hard to bring down years ago.
One activist, Lew Flagg is quoted as saying: “The Kennedys are like a cult around here.”
So on November 6th, will it be an election or what others term a coronation.
Kennedy 111 has the financial firepower in this election and his camp believe that he is ahead of his rival although there have been no recent polls to verify this contention.
