Re: Print sales into the future – Print21 magazine article
Bravo – a well-written article from someone who obviously understands that there is more to selling than just turning up on the doorstep with a smile and pen at the ready. Now, if only we can get the plethora of business owners out there with tight pockets and big dreams to open their minds to the world of possibilities that exist from having a marketing plan that flexs with the changing needs of our customers.
 
Keep up the excellent work

Great article and so true. Unfortunately, too late for many printers!

Re: The winds of change: 26 January 2010
I certainly join with you in congratulating John Walker on his new appointment as MD of Sappi Trading Australia … well deserved John, and in wishing Tim Shafer all the best in his forthcoming retirement to beautiful Fingle Bay.
 
However, one thing that needs correcting here is that the Sappi Trading office in Australia was opened by Barry Connors, as MD, and myself, as regional sales manager, in 1999 after we both departed Stora Australia.
 
Tim replaced Barry, as MD, when he retired in 2002.
