It’s a privilege to be taking over as editor even if it’s a bit of a strange after being online editor for over three years. This new role comes after a whirlwind year which has included several big events, the launch of our new website, and the wrapping up of lots of work behind the scenes. What is most strange is taking over the reins from my former editor Carys Evans, who I worked with since I started at Print Monthly. Many members of the industry will have seen us both out and about interviewing and filming — experiencing many events together for the first time, such as FESPA Global Print Expo, drupa, and Hunkeler Innovationdays. It’s fair to say that I owe the majority of my knowledge of the industry and this new role to Carys and so I firstly want to thank her for all her support, lessons, and friendship over the years — it will all certainly come in extremely useful when undertaking this new role. Though I’m sure I won’t be completely giving up the DSLR camera anytime soon, thankfully we have our new multimedia journalist, Jonathan Pert, to help in creating more fantastic news, specials, and videos. Jonathan has a vast amount of experience in video production and content writing which has already been a great asset to Print Monthly. I’m sure the industry will continue to welcome him as warmly as it does everyone and I look forward to working alongside him, Rob Fletcher, Shaun Edwards, and the rest of the editorial/production team. With a host of industry events rounding up the year, it’s an appropriate time to look both back and ahead. Recently we got to attend The Print Show, which you can read about on page 59, as well as attend award ceremonies like the SMP Awards (more on page 8). Looking forward there’s also more important dates in the calendar such as The Printing Charity Luncheon, Power of Print, and Packaging Innovations & Empack (all of which you can read about on page 22). After attending the IPIA’s recent Annual Conference as well as many manufacturer open days, it’s clear that the printing industry is striving for change, whether that be through encouraging young talent into print or diversifying the products printers can produce. We’ll be here to cover it all and I look forward to helping bring more insightful content to our readers.
