Print Lover enjoyed a warm welcome from the print industry this June, as CFH’s new online print brand proudly sponsored the IPIA Networking Lunch in Birmingham.
Held on Thursday 18th June in the Marco Pierre White Restaurant at The Cube in Birmingham, the landmark annual event brought together 145 guests from across the print sector, including printers, print buyers, suppliers, agencies, industry partners and more.
With welcome drinks, a delicious three-course lunch and a rotating table format designed to maximise networking, the event offered an ideal setting for fresh conversations, new introductions and plenty of print-focused discussion.
As proud members of the Independent Print Industries Association, we were delighted to support the annual event through Print Lover, the newly launched online print shop.
Launched in early 2026, Print Lover is a UK-based online print brand from CFH, built on nearly 50 years of trusted print expertise. Combining professional print quality with a modern and visually appealing digital platform, the brand offers customers a streamlined way to order premium printed products online.
From business cards and glossy booklets to leaflets, posters and more, Print Lover brings together high-quality print, a simple ordering experience and a colourful pop art-inspired personality.
The IPIA event was a valuable opportunity to introduce more people to the brand, share what Print Lover is all about and connect with fellow print professionals from across the industry.
Business Development Managers Claire Walker, Clinton Walker and Julian Smith attended on behalf of CFH to introduce Print Lover, bringing along a certain pink-haired poster girl who proved hard to miss.
Roxy, Print Lover’s bold and glamorous brand character, sat proudly in the background throughout the day, adding a splash of colour, personality and pop-art flair to the room. With her eye-catching style and glossy print charm, she proved to be a real conversation starter among a room full of print lovers.
The lunch also featured memorable speeches from IPIA Chair Alasdair Browne and IPIA/BAPC General Manager Brendan Perring, who addressed those in attendance and helped shape a positive, engaging atmosphere.
For the team, it was a brilliant chance to meet friendly faces, talk all things print and showcase the brand’s growing range of products.
The IPIA is a UK-based, not-for-profit trade association that represents, supports and champions businesses operating across the wider print industry.
Through its programme of networking events, conferences and industry-led forums, the IPIA brings together professionals from across the sector to share insight, explore emerging developments and support the long-term strength and growth of print.
Following a successful sponsorship at the June Networking Lunch, Print Lover is pleased to be continuing its involvement with the IPIA throughout the rest of the year. A big thank you to everyone at the Independent Print Industries Association for hosting such a valuable event, and to everyone who took the time to speak with the team on the day.
Upcoming events include the 2026 IPIA Annual Conference, taking place on 27th August at The MTC in Coventry, followed by the Recognising Excellence Expo, Networking Lunch, Gala Dinner and Awards on 2nd December at the Crowne Plaza Stratford Upon Avon.
