Our work is supported by a research programme which focuses on highlighting the contribution of the UK publishing industry. We work with different organisations to deliver research reports on strategic areas of interest for the membership. Recently, this has included working with economic consultancies, political think tanks and charity partners.
From the very earliest days of printing technology to the present-day digital revolution, publishers have helped educate, inspire and entertain the world. Publishing has helped make the UK a centre of thought, discovery and creation, projecting our values and culture into the hearts and minds of billions around the globe.
