The One to Watch: Nicola Swann From Videojet Technologies
Nicola Swann (pictured right) from Videojet Technologies is the winner of the PPMA Show’s Ones to Watch awards, which recognise 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, chief executive of the PPMA (pictured left), and one of the judges for the award, says: “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 also collected awards for Silver and Bronze respectively.
As part of the prizes, the five shortlisted candidates were also presented with a free place on Festo Training & Consulting’s management training course, ‘Don’t just feed me chicken’, a unique approach that uses birds of prey to demonstrate how to encourage employee engagement.
