Awards winners with Baroness Dean, Lord Blunkett, president, The Printing Charity and Lord Black of Brentwood, vice president
This year there was a record 88 applicants and 50 winners.
The winners received their awards at an event hosted by the Rt Hon the Baroness Dean of Thornton-le-Fylde and organised by The Printing Charity at the House of Lords on 19 July.
At the event, Neil Lovell, The Printing Charity’s chief executive and secretary said: ‘We are proud of the Print Futures Awards and their continued growth. I believe that both the charity and the sector have more to do to encourage young talent.
‘We are setting up an Alumni programme for this year’s and previous winners,’ he added. ‘The aim is to stay connected with them, introduce them to industry contacts and enable them to hear from leading thinkers in the sector.’
The Print Futures Awards are grants of £1,500 to help people aged 16-30 pay for training courses for a career in printing, publishing and packaging.
