Looking back on a successful year at Technoprint

There’s no doubt that 2022 has been a year of challenges and adversity. The paper shortage, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent energy crisis has meant that there have been a number of hurdles we’ve had to jump this year.

The energy crisis: What it means for the print industry

The print industry has been beset by an uncertainty that’s gripped the international economy this year. From Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to supply disruption, there’s been a great deal of uncertainty.

How businesses can benefit from using a second supplier

In the current climate, business uncertainty is seemingly ubiquitous as the economic difficulties caused by the war in Ukraine and inflation continue to grip the country and the world.

International Women’s Day 2022 – what the day means to us

The 8th March marks an important date in the calendar: International Women’s Day (IWD). The day is a chance to celebrate the cultural, political, and socioeconomic achievements of women and highlight the ongoing issues of gender inequality.

 

This year’s theme is #BreaktheBias. Whether deliberate or unconscious, bias can make it difficult for women to move ahead.
