As I write this no-one from the Graphics and Print Media Alliance (GPMA) has come back to me in reference to a press release from the BPIF updating ‘UK Printing – The Facts and Figures’. Given that the GPMA was set-up to provide the industry with a single voice, I find it interesting that the data – which the BPIF has said it will “be sending it to all MPs and Lords so they can see the value that the printing industry has to the national economy” – has not come from that umbrella organisation to which it and other print associations (including the Fespa UK, BAPC, IPIA, Picon, Apcom, Two Sides etc) belong. I worry that we are still not presenting a coherent voice to Government. Is that just me?
