Nigel Steffens had been with Fespa since 1993
Following 23 years of service to the organisation, Nigel Steffens has retired from Fespa.
Nigel Steffens joined Fespa in January 1993 as assistant general secretary. He was promoted to general secretary in 2000 and become CEO in 2003. Most recently Mr Steffens held a consultant role.
Reflecting on his career during Fespa’s General Assembly in September, Mr Steffens said: ‘The greatest reward is to have been part of a team that has steered Fespa to a level of commercial success that enables us to actively reinvest funds for the long-term development of the print community, to be giving back and creating positive conditions for our members’ growth.’
Fespa board member Lascelle Barrow praised Mr Steffens’ contribution, saying: ‘His advice and guidance has been invaluable as Fespa has grown from a regional trade body to a global exhibition brand. We will miss his quiet diplomacy and wish him every happiness in retirement.’
