Stanley Gibbons is pleased to announce the appointment of Paul Zimmerman as Director of E-Commerce Operations. Paul will be re-locating to Jersey from the UK to undertake his new role and will be reporting directly to Mark Rosenberg who was appointed as Chief Digital Officer of the Group in November last year, following the acquisition of the US online collectibles trading platform, "bidStart".

"I am delighted with the appointment of Paul Zimmerman who has a proven track record and skills of exact relevance to what we require to commercialise our e-commerce developments. Paul chose to join Stanley Gibbons, above other opportunities available to him, as he shares our belief in the transformational potential for the Group on the successful implementation of our e-commerce strategy."
