The event, titled A Future for Trade Finishers, will take place at Heidelberg's Tamworth facility on 14 July.

BPIF North West regional director Bob Thomson, who is in charge of arrangements for the one-day educational seminar, said that the organisation was hoping to attract both members and non-members to the event.

Among the subjects that will be discussed are 'Opportunities for development', 'Making accreditations work for you' and 'Marketing your business'.

Presentations will be made by Graham Masters, managing director of Phoenix Print Finishing, who is also chairman of BPIF Midlands, Nick Chalk and Paul Krisson from Océ, and Matthew Peacock, of Vision in Print.

Trade finishers wishing to attend should contact Thomson at the BPIF.
