Once again I am pleased to


be asked to bring you news of the 2010 Starpack awards. I asked last year whether it could get any better and I wasn’t dis- appointed. Our new Competi- tions Working group under the able Chairmanship of Alec Alden worked tirelessly with the invaluable help of Rachel Brooks at the Packaging Society to achieve another successful year.

efore I comment on the winners I must thank Barry Jones, Chairman of the London and South East local Packaging Society, for ac- commodating our awards cere- mony within his prestigious London Dinner. This is a charita- ble event sponsored by our good friends at Marks & Spencers with proceeds going to CLIC Sargent. Also I must


mention and thank The Drinks Report ably controlled by Felic- ity Murray who helped us throughout 2010.
