Richards leaves as Fujitsu re-shuffles

Martin Richards has left Fujitsu as the company merged Fujitsu General and Eurofred to create a new joint venture in the UK, FG Eurofred. The new team will be headed by CEOKazuo Sakakura, with Lajos Darvas, senior vice president for business planning and marketing. Ignacio Saez-Torres is vice president for direct sales; Tony Nielsen, product and marketing manager and Tim Kaye, sales manager – distribution. Mr Kaye said: “Although the new company will have a direct sales operation, our network of distributors is just as important to us as it ever was to Fujitsu General. “Under Martin Richards, who has now left the company as part of an amicable agreement, Fujitsu in the UK built up a strong working relationship with all our distributors, and part of my job will be to maintain and even improve on that.”
