Digitisation is changing printing, opening up exciting opportunities and demanding new ways of working and new skills. There has never been a more exciting time to be in print.

In sponsoring this award, Heidelberg hopes to encourage printers to foster development and excellence in their workforce. Attracting and keeping staff, training and developing them for tomorrow’s world, is critical to success.

In the words of Richard Branson: “Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don’t.” Well-trained staff with a can-do attitude and an understanding of good working practices are good for efficiency, for reputation and for profitability.
