Colin Sinclair McDermott interviews Verity from Dominion Print about leadership in a family-run print business and the role of print in retail environments.
In this episode, Colin Sinclair McDermott sits down with Verity from Dominion Print, Live at FESPA Global Print Expo, to explore what it really takes to lead a family-run print business through change, growth, and responsibility.
