Print Solutions

The Print & Packaging Think Tank has rebranded and is now The Directors’ Forum. The forum provides an exclusive network for print and packaging industry directors and senior leaders.

This industry forum meets for dinner, drinks and conversation three times a year; this provides the opportunity to engage with peers through insightful talks, as well as meaningful discussions about the industry and the supply chain. Allowing for the opportunity to hear from business experts on topics like cyber, AI, marketing and legislation, as well as from organisations like the Bank of England, providing the opportunity to talk about business, the industry, future and growth.

This forum allows for collaboration on innovative solutions, industry wide issues and looking to the future. It provides the space to forge strong, lasting relationships and friendships.

New member Andy Pond, managing director, Formara, said: ‘Joining the BPIF Directors’ Forum in 2025 allowed me to meet with senior figures in print to share our experiences, knowledge and thoughts on the state of the industry in an informal setting. Understanding the challenges that we all face and collaborating with like minded people is invaluable to both myself and therefore, Formara in general. I am looking forward to the lively and informative discussions planned for 2026.’

As the host of the forum, Charles Jarrold, chief executive, BPIF, said: ‘The Directors’ Forum meets three times a year, bringing together a curated group of business owners, founders and chief executives from across the print industry. It offers a unique opportunity for business leaders to discuss current topics, share insights and expertise, and strengthen relationships. Held over a relaxed and enjoyable dinner, the BPIF organises the event and hosts a keynote speaker who provides thought provoking insights to spark stimulating conversation throughout the evening.’
