Queensland PICAS – the complete list of winners

The Queensland Printing Industries turned on its gala night last weekend with a large and noisy turnout.

Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for State Development and Innovation Linda Lavarch presented Queensland Complete Printing Services and Scanlon Printing Company with Business Excellence and Innovation Awards.
Mrs Lavarch said the Awards were introduced to emphasise the need for printing businesses to continue to innovate and employ strong management practices.

"The printing industry is one that's constantly facing rapid technological change, and businesses need to be at the forefront of change in order to remain competitive" she said.
