The organisation’s ‘Priorities for Print’ survey is seeking views of printers across the UK, with the results driving the Priorities for Print document, which will be used by the BPIF to influence policymaking on issues which affect UK print businesses.

The survey covers matters including energy supply and cost, inflation, minimum wage increases, international trade, staff retention, and Covid measures. The BPIF is also keen to hear about any new and emerging issues which make doing business difficult.

The Priorities for Print document 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.”

The survey can be completed here – it is estimated to take around 10 minutes to complete.
