NSW State Opposition Leader, Peter Debnam MP, will open this year’s PrintNSW Excellence Awards to be held at Crowne Plaza Hotel Coogee, on Friday September 15. Now in its third year, the awards are an annual event for NSW printers, recognising their excellence and innovation in the NSW printing industry; giving credit to the tremendous achievement, commitment and dedication shown by staff over the period of 12 months.

Printing Industries NSW General Manager, Robert Fuller, says, the opposition leader’s decision to open the PrintNSW awards this year, is further recognition by politicians, of the value of the printing industry in NSW.
