Kyocera expands production print sales team with strategic appointment of Vanessa Richardson

I’m pleased to welcome Vanessa Richardson to the Kyocera team as our new production sales specialist.

Vanessa brings with her a wealth of experience in the print and print finishing sector, shaped over many years in roles that have spanned marketing, sales, operations, and national leadership. Her time in the industry has given her a clear and consistent view of what matters most: understanding the customer’s application, and delivering a solution that actually works.

Having worked with Vanessa in the past, I’ve seen first-hand how deeply she lives the Kyocera principle of doing the right thing as a human being. She leads with honesty, builds trust naturally, and always puts the customer’s real needs at the centre of every solution. It’s this kind of grounded, service-led approach that strengthens our reputation and deepens the relationships we build in the production print space. 

As production print becomes an increasingly important focus for Kyocera, we are investing not just in the technology, but also in the people who know how to position it, communicate it, and deliver it with integrity. Vanessa’s strength lies in her ability to look at an entire print process, from initial consultation to final output, guiding customers with care, clarity, and expertise.

Please join me in welcoming Vanessa to the team. I have no doubt she will help us build deeper partnerships, unlock growth opportunities, and bring even greater value to our production print clients.
