Chris is the Head of Membership Services at FESPA.
He has overseen the launch of over 100 FESPA supported projects including an e-learning course; numerous seminars in many FESPA member countries; and also had a key involvement in the production of the FESPA Sensations book of screen printing effects. Chris works closely with all FESPA Associations and feels that his role puts him at the heart of the "FESPA family" having made many dear friends from around the world.
"I have decided to start a blog and will use the FESPA website to relay what has been happening in my FESPA world. The blog will also be about what will be happening in the weeks ahead. My aim is to update this weekly. On occasions the updates will be more frequent but on other occasions it might be updated fortnightly, especially if I am on holiday."
Back at work for just a day I then took a three day holiday in Jersey (which was so relaxing and sunny) but after this I was on my travels once more, this time to speak at a FESPA supported seminar organised by Dusan Golubovic at the local Belgrade University faculty of printing. 
Michel and I had been invited to attend the AGM of the Norske Spesialtrykkeres Forening (NSF) over the next few days so we travelled direct from Prague to Bo in Telemark Norway, to participate in a mixed programme of meetings, seminars and a fun networking event in the snow.
A glimpse at a Swiss screen printer extraordinaire...Lorenz Boegli

Is your business worth $200 billion per year? This business is...

But it is a major crime which costs the global economy billions?
I have heard so much recently, especially from printers (but from many professionals in other industries) that they cannot afford to be green. Green substrates and inks are too expensive; their customers don't want it and whatever they might do in their business will make very little difference to the environment but in my view, now is the time to act. I admit to being into the green issue - but I am not a green evangelist wanting people to give up their cars and ride bikes, save whales and only eat organically grown food – but I firmly believe that if you are a printer, now is the time to act and carefully consider the benefits of going green. And furthermore, if you do it properly, you can actually save money in these tough economic times.
I was about to write my first blog of the New Year and decided to concentrate on three issues, the economy, energy and social media after reading three fascinating articles this week on these issues.
The first article I came across said “This will blow you away” and blow me away it did.
