Lascelle Barrow - Board Member

Lascelle Barrow (DOB: 1946) has represented the UK on the FESPA Board since 1991, and has previously occupied the roles of President and Chairman, presiding over the move of the FESPA exhibition to its first stand-alone venue in Lyon. He is a member of the FESPA Finance Committee. In addition, sits on the Board of the FESPA UK Association. Lascelle co-founded Augustus Martin Limited at the age of 19, following his technical education at the London College of Printing. Now one of the Europe's leading specialists in POS and outdoor advertising with a turnover of £35 million and a staff of 300, Augustus Martin was the first UK printer to use water-based UV screen inks, and has pioneered the introduction of new technology to the POS industry for over three decades. The company, a major employer and supporter of local charities in London's East End, serves mainly UK-based customers, while also exporting globally on behalf of multinationals. Lascelle's professional focus is on innovation and the commercialisation of new technology and products. This interest is brought to bear in three professional roles; primarily as joint Managing Director of Augustus Martin, but also as chairman of print finisher TJ Finishing Ltd and chairman of speciality inks producer Small Products Ltd. Married with six children, Lascelle enjoys spending any precious spare time on the golf course or on the ski piste, and supporting the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme to motivate young people.
