The winners of the 2023 FESPA Awards were announced yesterday during a VIP ceremony at FESPA Global Print Expo 2023.
Across the categories, this year’s awards received 210 entries from print service providers (PSPs) and sign-makers looking to showcase outstanding examples of print and signage.
“This is the award I always wanted!” says Nathan Swinson-Bullough from Imageco, who won the Display and Packaging on Paper & Board Gold Award. “When I first saw these awards years ago, I thought to myself that the standard was too high to touch, but the more amazing work we produced, the higher my confidence grew that we could be up there with the best. The standard of work the team are producing week in and week out is amazing, and I am beyond proud.”
