 Peter Mansfield is the newly appointed General Manager of Printing Industries SA & NT. This follows the retirement of Al Chizmesya after more than 20 years of dedicated and distinguished service to the industry.
Mr Mansfield brings considerable experience in industry associations. Over the past 10 years he has held key positions in various associations representing the newsagency, wine and food processing industries. He has been involved in advocacy, business development, policy, learning & skill development, project management, leadership development and industrial relations. He recently completed post-graduate studies for a Graduate Certificate in Management.
“I am looking forward to gaining an understanding of the multi-faceted printing industries," Mr Mansfield said. "My overall brief is to continue and expand the association’s focus on initiatives that improve the business outcomes for members in an increasingly competitive and technological globalised market.
“While assisting members to meet current opportunities and challenges is important, a focus on the future is also critical. We need to consider how this industry and the markets will look and operate in three to five years time and what we need to do now to be prepared and profitable in that future,” he said.
Mr Mansfield will be making every effort to meet industry people and other stakeholders and will welcome any opportunity for a phone conversation or a face to face visit. His contact details are:
