Platinum Winter 2025 Newsletter

We hope our new apprentices aren’t just making waves at Platinum, but that, they help inspire other young women to consider a future in print. Whether it’s digital design, pre-press, operations, or finishing, there’s room for talent and ambition in every corner of the trade. This is just the beginning. As the industry continues to modernise, embracing sustainability, automation, and integrated services, we believe a more balanced workforce is not just welcome, but essential. We’re proud to support the next generation of printers, regardless of gender. We’re especially thrilled to see women stepping into roles that break the mould and help shape the future of print. “It’s great being part of a growing community of women in print, showing that this industry has space for creativity, diversity, and strong female voices. After completing an extended diploma at Leeds Art University, Charlotte explained that she struggled to break into digital media, as the market felt oversaturated. I didn’t want a standard 9–5, so the split shifts work well for me. Since joining Platinum as an apprentice, I’ve loved learning new skills, using my design experience in new ways, and being part of the process that brings amazing print to life.” Charlotte
