A big thank you if you have nominated your company for our new ‘Turning On The Talent’ campaign – the selection process is underway and the ten print companies chosen for the feature focus pieces throughout 2014 will be announced in the next issue.
Meanwhile, in the November issue of Image Reports you will see that Proskills is also trying to whisk up enthusiasm among wide-format companies in regards to educating youngsters about the broad raft of career opportunities within print. In particular, print operations willing to become a ‘twinner’ with a local school as part of the PrintIt! programme are being sought during November. As such you will act as a conduit by providing GCSE and A Level students with a first hand insight into the sector and, potentially, a future career.
The focus on people continues this month, albeit with a different slant, as we delve into why Chime Communications company Icon has invested its time and energy in becoming BS OHSAS 18001 certified when less than 1% of UK businesses have so far done so, and consider the message that sends to market.
And on the ‘message to market’ theme we also talk to Media Group about why it has become carbon balanced, what that means to the company itself, its print suppliers and importantly, its customers. You’ll read that the company believes being ahead of the ‘green’ curve is a crucial move. So do print machine manufacturers think that too? We asked the question of various suppliers so read on to find out how they responded.
