The IPIA and BAPC have been in close communication with The Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) to advocate on behalf of the UK print industry and provide its Intelligence Gathering Unit with information from the coal face of our sector in regards to the impact of Covid-19 and what thousands of businesses need in order to remain solvent and retain their staff.
BEIS requested that we supply them with information from our sector as to the immediate impact Covid-19 is having and what specific support is needed to prevent permanent and wide-spread economic damage. The survey below was created in response to this call and it provides a cross-sectional picture of how the UK print industry has been affected by Covid-19 as it was answered by print supply chain businesses from sub £1m turnover through to £45m +. This survey has been processed by BEIS and its findings fed into the Government’s decision making process.
