Announced during a ceremony at Fespa Global Print Expo in Amsterdam last week, the pair will work together to ensure the success of future events.

Fespa UK is one of 37 national Fespa associations for the screen printing, digital printing, and textile printing community.

Noble is managing director of Specialised Canvas, a contract sewing factory that supplies custom-made textile products and repairs. He takes over as president from RMC Digital Print managing director Nicole Spencer.

Posting on LinkedIn last week, Noble said: “I'm delighted to have taken the chair as Fespa UK Association president. Thanks to Nicole Spencer for steering the association through a tough few years. We have a wonderful team, led by Suzi Ward who is doing a huge amount to champion the causes of print, and Jay Burfield, who is getting recognition by the global board about the pioneering work he is doing to bring through our next generation of print and graphics specialists.”

Swinson-Bullough, managing director of wide-format printer Imageco, has worked closely with the Fespa UK team in recent years.

At Imageco he has championed sustainability within the print space through the use of innovative materials and creative design and won multiple awards for its print projects and sustainable practices.

He said: “I am very proud to be named vice president of Fespa UK. I have worked with the team for a long time and have admired the work they have done to provide opportunities for the print community both in the UK and Europe.

“I am excited to work with the team to continue Fespa UK’s legacy well into the future.”

He will be using his expertise to understand the association’s accounts, investments, and members.
