FESPA Australia appoints IVE's Bianca Martin as Public Relations Director

FESPA Australia has confirmed the re-appointment of its existing board members at its Annual General Meeting on 26 April and has announced a new board role of Public Relations Director.

The Association says it will build on the success of its inaugural Future Leaders program and Conference with a stronger emphasis on networking and facilitation. Working with the Future Leaders cohort and FESPA global associations, it will focus on attracting and retaining new people in the industry with a new training initiative.

Re-appointed Board members are Nigel Davies remaining as President; David Asker as Vice President; Mark Brooks as Treasurer; Keith Ferrel as Honorary Secretary;  and Matt Ashman as Supplier Director. The association says the wealth of industry experience on the board and leadership will be essential in guiding FESPA Australia towards achieving its goals for 2023.

In the new Public Relations Director role is Bianca Martin, Commercial Manager, IVE Brand Activations. Martin brings a wealth of experience in the printing industry, and her communications and media relations expertise will be a valuable asset to FESPA Australia as it continues to promote the industry and its members.

"I am excited to have Bianca on board," said Nigel Davies, President of FESPA Australia. "As well as her commercial skills and relationships, as a FESPA Future Leaders program graduate, she has the unique insights which will drive success in our Mentoring, Training and the 2023 Future Leaders Program." The association says its strong leadership team and a clear vision for the future, demonstrate its commitment to advancing the industry through collaboration between suppliers and print service providers on the issues that matter to the industry.
