BAPC Boosted By IPEX Success

The British Association for Print and Communication (BAPC) promoted a number of special offers at the recent IPEX exhibition, including a year's free membership for qualifying companies. The initiative was a great success, with more than 50 companies applying to join the Association. Tony Honnor, Association Director, stated: 'We were delighted that so many people took the time to visit us and sign up, particularly as we appreciate that those who attended the exhibition had so much to see and absorb. We were not only pleased at the recruitment outcome but were also encouraged by the number of visitors who took a real interest in the facilities the BAPC offers to members, particularly our mapping initiative and business support services.' Buchanan McPherson Colour Printers of Hamilton, Scotland, was among the companies that took advantage of the IPEX membership offer. Sales Manager Craig Douglas says: 'I found the BAPC representatives at IPEX very friendly and helpful. The organisation clearly has a lot to offer and it's nice to know they're there to help you if you need it. I'm looking forward to finding out more now we are a member.' At IPEX the BAPC also formally announced the date of its 2006 Annual Conference, which will take place at the Daventry Hotel, Daventry, Northamptonshire over the weekend of 29 September. New initiatives to build upon the success of this popular event are being planned, and details of the conference speakers and programme will be announced shortly.
