The winds of change; people moving, leaving, news: 21 February 2008

The printing industry has more people coming and going than an airport. This week, Print 21 takes a quick look at the flurry of changes that has occurred.

Frances Zhang's days of sitting solely in front of a computer screen are gone now that she has joined DES as marketing and communications coordinator.

The one-time graphic designer (pictured) found it a bit tedious having only her computer for company and is now enjoying networking and communicating with others in the world of printing. "I enjoy the variety that comes with this job, from PR to helping organise trade shows," she said.

Zhang has been with DES for just over a month, and while the printing industry is still new to her, she's enjoying learning all about it. "It's interesting because there is so much to learn and discover," she said.

According to Russell Cavenagh, sales director, Zhang's background in both marketing and the graphic arts made her an appropriate choice. "She has the creativity, organisational skills and the discipline that is required for this role," he said. "We are very pleased to have Frances as part of our team."
