WORLD - Lascelle Barrow has been appointed president of screen and digital printing association FESPA.
Barrow previously occupied the role from 1992 to 1996, and replaces outgoing president Gyorgy Kovacs to become FESPA’s 15th president.
Supported by vice president Yaşar Gűvenen, Barrow will oversee the association's activities and will chair the FESPA Board and General Assembly.
He will also work closely with the FESPA managing director and executive team to ensure that FESPA events activities support the needs and aspirations of FESPA’s 37 member associations and to supervise the reinvestment of funds for the benefit of FESPA’s global community of printers through the Profit for Purpose programme.
“I’m immensely proud to be given the chance to serve FESPA as president for a second time, and to be taking office here in London, my home city, midway through a phenomenal FESPA exhibition,” said Barrow. “I know myself the value of building authentic relationships with people who have guided and inspired me, and helped me to overcome challenges. I believe wholeheartedly in the power of a trusted community like FESPA, and I look forward to playing an active role in helping printers worldwide to grow and improve with FESPA’s support.”
Barrow’s inauguration coincides with FESPA’s 50th anniversary, as the organisation further expands its portfolio globally with new FESPA-branded events in Brazil, Turkey, China and Africa.
