Digital Printer is excited to reveal three panellists for our exclusive DIGITAL RE-SET event. Joining us on 26 November will be Precision ProCo’s Gary Peeling, Danny Narey from Mailing and Marketing Solutions, and Mark Cottee, managing director at BCA Group.
The participants, along with three more industry leaders to be announced next week, will share the experiences, attitudes and ideas that let them keep thriving when the world turned upside down.
We will investigate how these printers opened up new lines of business and won new customers, provide unique insight into their strategies and explore how companies can best prepare themselves for a future where what is ‘normal’ is constantly in flux. There will also be a chance for members of the audience to propose their own questions to our panel.

Mark joined the company in 1984, four years after it was founded by his father. In the years since the company has invested in a Linotronic 100, driven by a small Apple Mac, an Agfa film imagesetter, a Xerox 2045, digital foiling equipment from Vivid and a Duplo PFI Blade
These days the company’s work is all about quality and small numbers, entering a new market of die-cut products in small numbers aligned with variable foiling.
Digital Re-Set will replace this year’s Digital Printer Awards, which has been cancelled because of ongoing restrictions around public gatherings. All 2020 entries will automatically be put forward into the 2021 Digital Printer Awards.
