What a jam-packed summer it’s been so far and the momentum doesn’t seem to be slowing. We have seen a number of events announced from awards celebrating the industry’s talent and achievements (P06 & P08), to the opening of a new showroom and a huge company milestone (P12). There has also been much to celebrate with companies winning massive tenders such as the production of the London Mayor ballot contract for May next year (P10), and securing a hefty £75,000 in R&D tax relief (P06). Over on P08 we celebrate a significant retirement as Ivor Jacobs winds down after a whopping 50 years in the print industry. Jacobs is marking the occasion by writing a book looking over his career. In other news, there have been a number of appointments in print with companies bringing in experienced talent to head up operations and a range of promotions from within demonstrating the commitment to retaining valuable skills in the industry (P18). We also take a look at what to expect from the much-anticipated Labelexpo Europe which is set to return this month after a four-year hiatus (P22). In our Specials we find out more about what goes on behind the scenes of recruitment agency for the industry MTWO (P31); hear some tips for a productive morning routine and how this can benefit business (P54); as well as find out more about the impact consumers think paper and pulp has on the environment (P81). I hope you enjoy and please do get in touch with any news you have to share! Carys EDITOR'S Note Business Ribbon cutting opens Hybrid’s showroom 12
