Robert McClements - 2025

Back to Winners

This year’s Paper Gold Medallist, Robert McClements, has made a remarkable contribution to the UK’s paper-based and printing industries, not only through his 25-year career with BPIF but especially through extensive voluntary work.

Even after retiring in 2024, he remains an active industry advocate, focusing on mentoring young people and promoting careers in print. Over more than 20 years of volunteering with the Prince’s Trust (now the King’s Trust), he has helped nearly 50 disadvantaged young people access enterprise support for careers in print-related fields.
