Our search for the rising stars of the processing and packaging machinery industry is over for 2011. Nicola Swann from Videojet Technologies was named winner at the PPMA Show's Ones to Watch awards, which recognised promising under 35 years olds who have made a real impression on the packaging and processing machinery industry.
As Marketing Manager for the UK and Ireland, Nicola, 29, is credited with revolutionising Videojet Technologies' profile within the industry. New business enquiries through the website have risen by more than 300%, making her one of the company's most valuable assets.
Chris Buxton, CEO of the PPMA and one of the judges for the award said: “We have such a wealth of young talent across the packaging and processing machinery industry and so it's only right that we celebrate the contribution they make. I congratulate Nicola and wish her every success in her future career."
Sabine Fiehl from Busch UK and Greg Austin from Endoline Machinery Ltd also collected awards for Silver and Bronze.
