Okay, FINAT’s international football star and President of the
Turkish Label Association, blew the whistle and previewed the
team strips for the football challenge match of the year –
between local label printers and a team from FINAT. The
winners were Greece. There were celebrations and
commiserations that evening at Dreams Seaside at sunset on
the beautiful coast at Glyfada, where everyone enjoyed an
informal dinner and dancing.
summing
up
FINAT Congress was supported, as usual, with a full and
interesting partner programme during the times of the
meeting which embraced some of the outstanding
opportunities to enjoy history, sun and sand, and good food
that characterise Greece. As Kurt Walker said, ‘Athens has
proved to be a first-class location, featuring good food and
wine and very friendly people’.
‘It is a pity that with all the media spotlights aimed on Greece
and its role in the Euro crisis, not many more members took
the opportunity to attend this programme which was generally
regarded by the delegates as one of the most inspirational
FINAT congresses of the last decade’, he concuded.
Commented Jules Lejeune: ‘Over the past days, we have seen
many examples of sustainable practices in our industry, and
listened to invaluable advice on how we can expand our efforts.
FINAT can be the lynchpin in gathering industry initiatives
together to make a joined-up whole. It is certainly true:
sustainable labelling – now is your chance!’
