BPIF celebrates as member companies scoop top prizes at PrintWeek industry Awards

The British Printing Industries Federation (BPIF) is celebrating the fact that, at the recent PrintWeek industry Awards night, three out of four of the PrintWeek Awards were won by BPIF member companies - a true celebration and mark of the quality of the BPIF's membership.

Commenting on the success, BPIF Chief Executive Michael Johnson stated; "We would like to congratulate all our members who won a PrintWeek Award. It is well earned recognition of their hard work and endeavours and a true sign and endorsement of the quality that is produced by our industry and indeed our membership."

Over 1,200 leading industry personnel helped celebrate the best in UK print, with the winning companies rewarded for their excellence in print marketing by performance and excellence.
