Penny’s Retirement
My retirement was announced earlier in the year, accompanied with the news that Helen will be moving into the position of Managing Director.
I’m now into my final three months, so will be concentrating on catching up with members and suppliers, and working on a handover plan.
We have recruited a new person in the role of Development & Marketing Manager. As the title suggests, this role will focus on the growth and development of the membership and industry relationships.
We’ve had a lot of enthusiastic and encouraging comments around our rebrand and website launch, so the new person will be building on that to further strengthen the company.
His start date is 26th of May so there will be more next month. In the meantime I’m leaving you with this positive news.

Shows and Events
Once again we are working in partnership with the teams promoting National Stationery Week (NSW) and the Stationery Show. Full details on NSW can be seen on page 6, with more information about London Stationery Show and PG Live later in the newsletter.
