Networking opportunities at the House of Lords
The All Party Parliamentary Print Group (APPPG) was established in 2001 and exists to provide a forum where the issues impacting the printing industry can be debated. It allows printers and politicians to network and share current concerns in a relaxed and informal environment.
This forum helps promote a wider understanding of the issues facing the world of print, the competitiveness of the industry, and opportunities for its current and future employees. It also raises the profile of the printing industry amongst parliamentarians.
The BPIF will be hosting this year’s APPPG, as well as the AGM, on the 4 July. Both events will take place in Westminster, London.
The AGM offers a valuable opportunity to review how the Federation handled the events of the previous year, and to look ahead to the coming months.
The AGM will be hosted at the Church House Conference Centre at 2pm followed by the APPPG reception at the House of Lords.

Slight recovery of output and orders falls short of expectations in Q4 - confidence concerns mount in 2024
22 February 2024
Performance in the UK's printing and printed packaging industry did improve in Q4, as far as output and orders are concerned. However, it didn't come close to what would historically be considered the seasonal norm, nor quite match the subdued expectations for Q4.
