Drytac announce the appointment of Steve Payne and Anthony Shelmerdine as its Product Specialists in the UK and Ireland with immediate effect. The new roles aim to support customers with knowledge-led expertise and exceptional service.
Drytac Product Specialists will work closely with Drytac’s exclusive UK stockist and partner Premier to promote Drytac’s suite of products through dynamic presentations and expert training sessions.

“We are delighted with this double appointment to our Product Specialist roles,” Kieran Blacknall, Operations Manager at Drytac said. “Both Steve and Anthony are ideally suited to the new positions and bring years of experience to the Drytac team.”
Steve Payne
Steve joined the industry in 2016 and has worked as a Production Manager for several companies. Prior to his time in the graphics sector, he served in management and supervisory roles across the events and publishing markets.
“Steve has years of hands-on experience in the print sector and huge knowledge of the market as a whole,” Kieran said. “He is a great fit for the Product Specialist role and our customers will greatly benefit from working with him.”
Anthony Shelmerdine
Anthony brings several years of experience as a Sales Executive at a sign and display solution provider, where he developed a strong understanding of the graphics sector. Before this, he held a management role at a PVC-U products specialist, gaining extensive technical knowledge of these materials.
Drytac worked with recruitment specialist, Matt Hanley of MTWO Search in order to identify and take on Anthony. Matt says, “I have known Anthony for a while and took great care in helping him find the ideal position. We took our time, and this role at Drytac seems perfect for him. For his age, he has good experience and is very technically minded. This role is a great bridge for Anthony to take on more external and customer-facing responsibilities.”
“Anthony’s industry experience and technical expertise make him a valuable addition to the Drytac team,” said Kieran Blacknall. “Like Steve, he will share this knowledge with our customers, helping them make informed decisions when selecting materials from Drytac.”
