I am writing with a bitter-sweet feeling as this is my last issue as your Print Monthly Editor. I will be passing the baton over to my colleague and friend David Osgar who I am sure you will all agree will do a stellar job, and I am leaving content in the knowledge that the magazine I have spent the past three years honing and developing, will be in very safe hands. A special mention also has to go to Shaun, our production editor who has become a close friend, mentor, and ear for my ramblings. Still to this day, we have never not pulled it out of the bag! (Thanks to Shaun’s 100 years of experience). I'd also like to thank our long-time contributor Rob who consistently supports with anything and everything thrown his way, not least hoards of features each month. Rob, you're a star! Having joined Link Publishing as a News Reporter back in 2018 and working my way up through the ranks to Online Editor and later Editor, I have spent the past six years developing my skills and growing in confidence as a professional and as an individual, and I have grown to love this friendly and welcoming industry very much. I have always followed the ethos of no question is too silly to ask, and the openness of the experts and specialists I have met along the way has enabled me to hone my knowledge and understanding of this technical and ever-evolving industry to no end. On leaving University, the thought of networking events filled me with dread, however once I began slowly but surely building a wonderful network of industry friends and connections, it quickly became one of my favourite parts of the job. I am very grateful for the opportunities I have had during my time at Link Publishing to bring ideas to the table and to continue to grow and build on the fantastic platform Print Monthly offers for the industry as a source of news and information. I have also been lucky enough to attend numerous industry events and trade shows over the years, and I will look back on these times fondly. As I take on my next challenge in my new role, I am pleased to say I will be remaining in the industry and I very much look forward to catching up with everyone at the next event – which just so happens to be The Print Show! Thank you for all your support and kind words over the years, they really do mean a lot.
