Business Moves: Print Yorkshire gains new voice

A round-up of the week’s appointments.

LICK Group managing director Linden Kitson has been appointed as the newest steering group member for the region’s voice for print and packaging Print Yorkshire.

Print Yorkshire is dedicated solely to supporting and attracting new printing business into the Yorkshire and Humber area.

It has established a highly respected brand and focus of activity in the region during the last three years and now has strong links with Regional Development agency, Yorkshire Forward.

The Lick Group has recently been awarded SME Company of the Year from Haymarket Media at industry leading PrintWeek awards held in London .

The SME accolade was the penultimate award of the night, and presented to MD Linden Kitson by renowned comedian, Jimmy Carr.

David Felice, Haymarket events manager, said: “The SME of the Year accolade is about much more than just exceptional print services, we look at the impact and success a company has had across a broad spectrum including the perception of it as a company both regionally and nationally. What particularly impressed us about the Lick Group was the progression and forward thinking nature that has led the business from a small start-up to a thriving Yorkshire business which boasts almost £5m in turnover.”
