Gary Donnison, CEO of Printing Industries, to exit the industry
At the National Print Awardsceremony, president of Printing Industries, Peter Lane, paid tribute to the contributions made by Donnison and expressed the Association’s best wishes for his future. His departure comes at a time when the Association is facing serious challenges and is attempting to assert itself in areas such as training.
A strong advocate of centralising the functions of the Association, Donnison leaves with the state-based structure intact. National director, Phillip Anderson, is expected to take on the role of acting-CEO while a new executive is found. It is a role he is familiar with; this will be Philip's third time perfoming the task of keeping the ship on course while a new captain is enlisted. Donnison's tenure provided a period of relative stability for the Association following a stormy passage in the mid-1990s when two CEOs were dismissed.
Gary Donnison will travel overseas when he leaves in mid-June.
