Fespa has created a head of technical support post to which it has appointed Graeme Richardson-Locke. He will provide technical expertise on all matters relating to screen and digital printing on behalf of Fespa and its stakeholders. This will include managing and developing technical content in the form of workshops, guidance documents and research to support Fespa and its national associations and their members.
Richardson-Locke has more than 30 years' experience in the screen and digital print industry, where he has worked in design, production, sales and operational management positions. Prior to joining Fespa, he held the position of sales and operations director at Vektor, a print and design service where he oversaw production of screen printed, embroidered and digitally imaged garments for both large and small businesses. Prior to Vektor, he was operations director at The Print House Group. Since 2003 he has owned his own business, Eye 4 Colour, which works with artists to achieve fine art reproductions.
Richardson-Locke became more involved with Fespa in 2015 when he became a director of Fespa UK Association. He has also been a judge for the Fespa Awards since 2016 and, during his time at The Print House Group, the company was awarded a Silver Fespa Award in the Fine Arts category.
