Martin congratulated Barnet on behalf of the GAMAA members. “We would like to extend our congratulations and wish Peter all the best in fulfilling his aims for the GAMAA Grant. We were extremely pleased with the high calibre of applications we received in the inaugural round for the GAMAA Grant and look forward to the outcomes Peter will present”.
On being awarded the Grant, Barnet said, “I am really thrilled about the opportunity this Grant delivers. I have been talking for a long time about printers becoming more integrated providers to their customers - Marketing Service Providers. Over the last two years we have evolved our services and won new business based on adding services to our portfolio through understanding our customers’ changing needs. I intend to use the GAMAA Grant to find out what else I can add and to see how others are doing it”.
He continued. “There are a host of innovative companies out there and I am extremely excited that I have the opportunity to travel to the US and bring back new ideas and concepts that will not only assist my company, but also add to the body of knowledge for our industry”.
