The Stationers’ Company has unveiled Trevor Fenwick as its new master, promising he will be a leader ‘like no other.’
Mr Fenwick, who became a liveryman in 2008, has been described by his colleagues at Euromonitor International as ‘chief disruption officer’ and by a fellow stationer as ‘part Luke Skywalker, part Darth Vader.’
‘I hope to leave the Company in a better place in a year’s time,’ he said when asked what impact he hopes to make at Stationers during his year in office.
Mr Fenwick has sat on the Industry and Wine committees, chaired the Membership Development Committee, is a trustee of the Stationers’ Foundation and has been a governor of the Stationers’ Crown Woods Academy as well as serving on Court.
He was invited into the Livery by colleagues in publishing who recognised the need for the Stationers to engage with the rapidly evolving world of digital publishing as well as for his experience and knowledge on the subject of copyright and intellectual property which he is passionate about.
The major focus in the coming 12 months will be on the refurbishment of Stationers’ Hall, a project that will seek to modernise the Hall for the benefit of members and the public whilst retaining the character and sense of history of the hall.
