I hope you’re all enjoying this prolonged period of sunshine which is very rare to come by in the UK. This issue is jam-packed with news and insight with the summer period continuing to prove to be a very busy one. We recently had the pleasure of attending the IPIA Spring Networking Lunch where there was a real buzz throughout the day with businesses from all areas of the industry coming together to see how their skills could align and complement each other. This sense of collaboration and partnership seems to be at the forefront of many companies’ agendas as we now face a ‘new normal’ after the Covid-19 pandemic. The topic of diversity and inclusion within the print industry is also one that keeps arising and Ricoh’s Tanya Howe offers her insight on the issue on P08. There have also been a number of milestones to celebrate with Konica Minolta turning 150 this year (P12) and Gallus Group turning 100 years old! (P14). Known affectionately throughout his career as ‘Pez’, punk rocker David Warwick is also celebrating 45 years at H&H Reeds Print & Design, where his own father and grandfather previously held senior roles. In our Specials, we cover a range of topics from looking after your Mental Wellbeing (P44); the Power of Networking when growing your offering and presence in the industry (P54); as well as consumer preference for print having returned after Covid-19 saw a move to digital (P52). As always, we hope you enjoy this issue and please get in touch with any news you have to share! Carys EDITOR'S Note Business Walstead bags print deal 10
