About Lauren,
Lauren's background in Printed Graphics/signage
I presently work as a project manager and CSM in Stylographics Film & TV department and have done since November 2021. My role is unique to the business due to the fast paste deadlines of the film industry. This means I not only liaise with the customer on what printing needs they have but I also see the job through the production line, I feel this gives me more pride in my work as I get to see it being produced from the initial idea to the final product.
​
I never intended to work within the print industry and didn't realise how much it had to offer until I fell into my role at Stylo, but having now seen all the incredible things this industry has to give I cannot not see myself working out of it.

Why be a part of the Next Generation Committee?
I believe the next gen committee and our events are important as they not only connect the younger generation working within the print industry but it gives us the opportunity to learn from each other and hopefully build long lasting professional relationships. Adding onto this I believe it gives the younger generation a chance to explore how to socialise professionally and build up confidence within doing this, a skill I think is being damaged by social media due to us now being able talk to someone with a click of a button rather than build the connections in person. Our Aim is to try bridge the age gap within print and make it appeal to those considering a career within this industry, showing just how much this industry has to offer to the Next Gen.
