A much-coveted spot opened up on the board following the retirement of long-serving member Paul Richardson, from Lindsay Yates Group, and with experience and credentials to spare Edwards was a firm fit for the role.
Edwards has been CEO of Snap since 2011 and served as a GASA Committe member prior to the association's amalgamation with Printing Industries last year.

Healey went on to thank outgoing Paul Richardson for his commitment to the board and to the assoication.
“Paul has been a tremendous advocate for the industry and strong supporter of our association. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Paul while he focuses on his business activities and thank him for his commitment, input and industry insight during the past two years,” he said.
