Marc Swinbank joins the AD Wrap Center in Burnley, bringing over 14 years of vehicle wrapping experience to the role
Avery Dennison Graphics Solutions EMENA has appointed Marc Swinbank as Specialist Trainer UK & Ireland, based at the AD Wrap Center in Nelson, Burnley. Marc joins established trainer Ash Ellison to support the growing demand for technical training and hands-on instruction across the United Kingdom and Ireland.
In his new role, Marc will take on customer training days, industry expos and live demonstrations, working alongside Ash to ensure the AD Wrap Center continues to meet the standards it has built its reputation on.
Fourteen years in the trade
Marc started in the industry in 2011 at William Smith, where vinyl graphics were just beginning to take hold. He went on to manage large-scale commercial wrapping projects at Elite Graphics, before launching his own business in 2021.

The AD Wrap Center is designed as a professional environment where wrappers and installers can develop their skills using the latest Avery Dennison technologies. Marc’s appointment is intended to extend the facility’s capacity while maintaining the quality of instruction it is known for.
