SPEF chooses new president

The Scottish Print Employers Federation (SPEF) has elected Bob Hodgson, the chairman and chief executive of the Ormolu Group, as its new president.

Hodgson, who was formerly SPEFs vice president and chairman of its Industrial Relations Committee, succeeds Gordon Cunningham. Waterston Mackenzie & Storrie managing director Graeme Douglas was elected vice president.

Hodgson said that he hoped to introduce the recommendations from SPEFs Review Group during his two-year tenure. These included providing enhanced services, increasing membership, and the use of assets, like its Edinburgh headquarters, in a cost-effective way.
