Printism Media UK Print Chat

Mark Young is Head of Route 1 Print who are the UK's largest online trade printing company. Mark shares his thoughts on the future for his company and the trade as well as telling us about how they, and their clients, have had to adapt to the ever changing world we live in.

More great insight from the UK print trade.

Paul Dickson is the publisher and designer of Mill Magazine, a free, lifestyle magazine promoting the people and businesses of Renfrewshire.

Despite the many challenges facing it, Mill magazine is positively thriving and is going from strength to strength at a time when the publishing industry in the UK is struggling.

Through clever use of local collaboration and engagement, social media and the printed copies of the magazine, Paul has grown the magazine over the last 10 editions into a real community champion for the area. 

This podcast is a real positive, good news story, on the effects well put together printed materials can have on a local community and beyond.  

This week I'm speaking to Brendan Perring who is the General Manager of the Independent Print Industries Association (IPIA) and also the Chairman of the British Association for Print and Communication (BAPC). These roles give Brendan unique access to print companies throughout the country and he has heard first hand the trials and tribulations facing the trade in these difficult times. He has also seen though how companies can adapt and thrive in a crisis and offers his thoughts on the way ahead for many print companies in the months to come.

If you get the chance, it's worth catching up with the #PUNCHBACKPRINT series of events run recently by the IPIA.

Brendan was involved at government level during the early days of the Covid crisis and helped shape policy which enabled many printers to keep trading through difficult days.

Really interesting, positive thoughts from someone who clearly has great affection for the UK Print trade.    

In this first episode of my new podcast we talk to Webmart CEO Dr Simon Biltcliffe (I forgot to ask what he's a Dr of!) for his thoughts on business after Covid and what the UK Print Trade has to do to thrive and survive in the future. 

The one they've all been waiting for! 

In this edition I speak to the one and only Gerry Brennan who tells us all about the FSB and we also find out a bit more about the man behind the tank tops :-)

In this episode I have a chat with Brian Canavan from Brian Canavan Coaching to find out a bit more about him and his work as a Life Coach, working with clients from all around the globe.

Welcome to the trailer edition of the Printism Glasgow Business Chat podcast. Just me and my dulcet tones for this one but some far more interesting people coming to chat in the coming weeks.
