Mel is our Production Co-ordinator, and has almost 20 years' experience in the print industry.
After graduating from Massey University with a degree in Media Studies and Communications, Mel started work with Konica Minolta, progressing from service support to sales support. During this time, Mel became aware of the rise of digital technology in the printing industry. Mel then moved to Cervin Publishing, working in sales and production support roles.
Following this, she commenced at specialised print company Permark Industries as an estimator, and eventually became an Account Manager. These roles gave Mel knowledge and experience in specialised screen printing, digital printing and labelling.
Whilst on an OE in the UK, Mel worked in print procurement for a Regional Council, where she gained an excellent insight into the client’s perspective on print. Mel returned to the Manawatu and was appointed Account Manager at Keeling & Mundy Print, before moving to Fisher Print in 2013.
In 2017 Mel decided she would like a change of direction and moved into a production role (Production Co-ordinator) at Fisher Print. This gave her the opportunity to use her organizational and systematic skills in a different environment. Her sales background and customer focus offers a unique perspective in a production role.
