Hibbert joins Ipex committee

Polestar chief executive Barry Hibbert and four other top industry names have joined the 2006 Ipex advisory committee (IAC).

The committee has recruited BPIF director of corporate and external affairs Cicely Brown, Fuji UK Graphic Systems director Keith Dalton, Creo UK marketing manager Maria Machera and PrintCity president John Dangelmaier.

Committee chairman and Agfa UK director of Graphic Systems Laurence Roberts said: "Without the backing of exhibitor and visitor groups, the event would simply not be a success. The IAC plays a critical role in this."

The group's role is to discuss and advise on the development of the industry show, which will take place at Birmingham's NEC on 4-11 April 2006.
