Year in Review — Big Deals Make Comeback

Chris Colville surprised some with the announcement that he was leaving Consolidated Graphics to pursue other interests. Colville was executive vice president and CFO for CGX, but had earned a stout reputation (and later in the year, a berth in the Printing Impressions/RIT Printing Industry Hall of Fame) as an expert in negotiating transactions. In recent years, Colville had handed over CGX’s M&A duties to Jim Cohen.
