A number of staff changes are underway as Printing Industries continues its repositioning and prepares to relocate its Sydney office from Auburn to Chatswood.
The Auburn site is currently up for sale and a new, modern office location has been identified in Help Street, Chatswood with negotiations underway to secure this. It is expected that the move will be completed by late-November.
New recruit Katie Stokes will be taking up the WA State Sales Manager role following Paul Nieuwhof's resignation. Katie has a background in sales and most recently was a BDM at the WA Chamber Commerce and Industry.
Acting State Manager Victoria & Tasmania, Jenny Berry, resigned earlier this month and recruitment for a suitable replacement is continuing.
Sydney office Accounts Business Support Officer, Michelle Staszak, will not be making the move to Chatswood and has resigned after some nine years with the Association. She will work on until a suitable replacement is found.
After a 21 year career with Printing Industries, National Director, Communication, Technology and Creative Service, Joe Kowalewski, leaves the organisation today.
"Our staff have been very committed in serving our members and have played an important role across many different areas," Printing Industries CEO Jason Alen said.
"Joe in particular has had a long and distinguished career serving six CEO's during his time and becoming an integral part of just about every project and service the association has developed.
"His current role included wide ranging portfolios encompassing our communications and media liaison, website development and management, participation at major events such as PrintEx and Pacprint, our Better Business partner relationships, webinar program, publications and newsletters, liaising with other industry associations locally and in the USA and providing advice to members across a wide range of issues.
"More recently he added industry research to his portfolio producing the Web-2-Print report and laying the groundwork for an expansion of research as a service, again demonstrating his exceptional adaptability and commitment."
Mr Allen said he wished all departing staff the very best for their futures.
