The BPIF is running a survey to help determine lobbying priorities for 2022–24, aiming to ensure that the voice of the print industry is heard by government and in Parliament.
The Priorities for Print survey seeks the views of printers across the UK and its survey results will drive the BPIF’s Priorities for Print document, used by to influence policy-making on issues which affect UK print businesses.
The survey covers a number of matters including energy supply and cost, inflation, minimum wage increases, international trade, staff retention and Covid measures. The BPIF also wants to hear about any new and emerging issues which make doing business difficult.
Priorities for Print will be published in the new year and communicated to decision-makers, supported by (Covid regulations permitting) a series of meetings between BPIF members and their local MPs.
BPIF chief executive Charles Jarrold said, ‘It is crucial that our industry continues to have a voice in the corridors of power. In the last few years we’ve ensured that print’s voice is louder, stronger and is being heard more than ever by Government.
‘With new decisions around Brexit and Covid-19 having huge impacts on an almost daily basis, we intend to keep lobbying on these fast-moving issues.
‘And with just over two years to go until the predicted next General Election, it’s important to be thinking ahead and influencing early on a whole range of wider business challenges across the entire sector. But we need to hear from you to inform our approach, so your input is hugely appreciated.’
