Picon – which represents suppliers of printing and allied equipment – celebrated its 100th birthday yesterday, with a lunch at Stationers’ Hall in London, at which CEO Bettine Pellant said: “I am really proud to be part of an organisation which has reached such an important landmark and one that has emerged stronger and with a broader membership and remit. We remain relevant and proactive, creating opportunities to speak out on behalf of our sector and to create commercial opportunities – be that attending UK and international exhibitions or holding business forums. We can only ever be as good as our membership and this is a strong and proactive team who compete hard by day but enjoy each other’s company and respect each other’s views within the Picon organisation.” Got to ask – should more suppliers to the large-format print sector be members?
