It’s that time of year again as the Summer holidays loom and work schedules get tighter due to various reasons such as holidays, events, and work deadlines. Here at SignLink we’ve been busy gathering together a whole host of content together, while also making some behind the scenes changes. After working for Link Publishing for over 15 years, Shaun Edwards (Shauny to those in the office) has decided to pursue new adventures in publishing, leaving behind a huge legacy here at SignLink. The team would like to thank Shaun for all his support and hard work, and we wish him well in the future. With colleagues moving onto pastures new, this of course means we have new additions to the team. I’m happy to welcome our new graphic designer, Ben Mallon, and our new sales colleague, Lucas Naylor. Both Ben and Lucas have worked extremely hard these past few weeks in putting together our yearly Sign Directory, which you can find included with this issue in order to help you find the products and services you need to win customers. Also arriving in this issue is a brand-new regular article called Fresh Perspectives which looks to shine a light on fresh voices in the wide-format print and signage industries. The idea is to give these voices a space to write in their own words about something they feel is important to talk about. In our first article, Isabel Shanahan, an award-winning artworker from Imageco, talks about her experience in the industry, and how Imageco created an environment for her to grow and feel valued (page 36). Something else that has made the last few weeks incredibly busy was FESPA Global Print Expo and co-locating European Sign Expo which took place this year in Berlin. Me and my colleague Jonathan attended the entire event gathering plenty of video content for you to dive into on our SignLink YouTube channel. To read our full recap of the event head over to page 47 of this edition where you can get a breakdown of some of the big launches as well as the talking points and opinions of this year’s exhibition. Aside from that there is a whole host of useful and insightful articles for you to experience, including a fascinating look at a signage museum in Berlin (page 33), advice for B2B companies using LinkedIn (page 40), and a look at some of the latest wide-format printers on the market (page 53).
