Picon and Mathys & Squire are continuing their sponsorship in 2019 of the Stationers’ Company Innovation Excellence Awards, which celebrate the design of novel products, services and business processes across Stationers’ diverse sectors.
‘Picon is delighted to continue its sponsorship of the Stationers’ Company Innovation Excellence Awards. Our organisation is brimming with innovative suppliers to the graphics arts industry and so it is appropriate for us to support awards that encourage and recognise the results of effective R&D,’ commented Bettine Pellant, CEO of Picon. ‘Only by developing ground-breaking and practical solutions can those in the communications sector continue to evolve – which we do and at a cracking pace! Picon members have been winners of the Innovation Excellence Awards in past years and I hope very much we will see some of their names among the finalists again this year.’
‘For the third year running Mathys & Squire are pleased to support the Stationers’ Company Innovation Excellence Awards. As one of Europe’s most highly regarded intellectual property firms, we are passionate about innovation, entrepreneurial spirit, and seeing businesses succeed,’ said partner Alan MacDougall. ‘It has been good to see the three of these coming readily to the fore in all sectors of the communications and content industries and showcased through this Awards programme. We are looking forward to seeing the 2019 entries.’
