Kim Mitchell

Senior Account Manager

Kim is one of the most upbeat and passionate people you will ever meet – not to mention, one of the few women in the world to own a print company.

Born and educated in Scotland, Kim’s first position was an internship with the Department of Defence with a focus on publishing, print and photography. After moving to Australia, she well and truly put her stamp on the local print industry as one the foundation team members of the first instant print company in Australia, Pink Panther. Kim was aged 21 when she made National Operations Manager of Pink Panther, then the largest instant print company in the Southern Hemisphere.

As fate would have it, Kim was offered a 50% partnership in a little company called Doculink in 1999, but she decided to buy 100% instead. Under her direction, Doculink has now become one of the most respected, customer-focussed and fun places to work, and Kim has never looked back.

Kim also loves the colour purple, all New Zealand-produced sauvignon blanc, and a spot of gardening if she can ever find the time.

Dan Marshall

Systems and IT

Dan has been in the printing game pretty much all of his life. As a kid, he’d sit in front of the TV with his family while dad sat with them doing his printing work by hand. But, it wasn't until 1993 that he officially moved into the family business, beginning with bindery work and progressing up through customer service to IT. 

Dan's experience gained him a money-can’t-buy understanding of the industry as a whole, which has seen him hitting home-runs at Doculink for the last four years. His prowess at taking clients’ curly questions and coming up with creative tech solutions has a few other people at Doculink calling him names behind his back – ‘Technology Guru Extraordinaire’ is one of them.

When he’s not thinking about print, Dan is an all-round family man. He hopes to pass on his sense of humour and work ethic to his kids.

Laura Wight

Account Manager

The call of the family business was too strong for Laura, so she took up the opportunity to learn firsthand from her mum, Doculink Managing Director Kim Mitchell.

After two years of studying PR and then a further three years of a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Journalism and Criminology, Laura did some work for Beyond Blue where she used her writing to help youths suffering with anxiety and depression. Her next opportunity, however – managing client relations as Account Manager at Doculink – was too good to pass up. So was the opportunity to work with her family in a business that her mum has built from scratch.

Laura’s co-workers know only too well about her obsession with great white sharks and crocodiles, so much so they’re sending her swimming with sharks for her birthday. That’s a gift that anyone else might have taken the wrong way but Laura can’t wait for the experience.

Jason Landorf

General Manager - Sales

It’s hard to list all of Jason’s achievements from across the years with such limited space but, when it comes to sales – trust us – there’s none better.

After completing an apprenticeship in printing in 1995, Jason realised he didn’t like getting his hands dirty and decided to take a different path through his family’s printing company in Adelaide. Convincing his dad to let him try his hand at sales, he hit the road on his own and returned in the afternoon with half a dozen new clients. Needless to say, he stayed in that role. 

Years later, with a swag of clients under his belt, Jason moved with his wife to Melbourne, and Doculink was lucky enough to snag him. As a result, he’s been steadily building Doculink’s client base for the last 14 years. 

At home, Jason’s wife says sport is his number one love but he disagrees, ranking it at a firm number two behind his family. Together, Jason and his wife have travelled extensively through Asia and now their sights are set on Europe.
