The BPIF has apparently listened to feedback from the industry in regards to training requirements, and is widening its offering in 2022 accordingly. Courses will include a new Signage Technician Level 3 programme, following input from the federation’s display and POS interest group. This comes after other actions taken in this sector, including the introduction in the summer of the ‘Display and POS 2 Recycling Scheme’ with Prismm Environmental. Increasingly the BPIF is stepping up to the plate in representing large-format PSPs and I’m happy to be part of the conversation as to where more support can be given. So, as always, let me know if you have any biting issues and I’ll be happy to pass them on.
