The chief executive of The Newspaper Works, Mark Hollands, praised the quality of this year’s Ad Award entries.
“We continue to see rising standards in regional publishing, which is very encouraging.
“The industry has again taken in part in large numbers, and it is very encouraging to see a broad range of different newspapers and executives being nominated as finalists this year.”
Mr Hollands said that The Newspaper Works had this year responded to increasing calls for an awards ceremony for the PANPA Ad Awards.
“It will be great for the industry to come together for the Ad Awards presentation as part of the Future Forum next month,” he said.
Mr Hollands also thanked paper supplier Oceanic Paper which is the sponsor of this year’s Ad Awards.
“We’re delighted to welcome Oceanic as sponsor of the Ad Awards this year,” he said.
