ACCESS TO INFORMATION, networking and influencing the industry continue
to be key membership benefits, according to our most recent member
survey. The survey also showed that the most pressing business concerns
for members are distribution, the impact of supermarkets and moving
online. Through committee activity, a comprehensive programme of
forums and events, PPA has addressed these issues and continues to
represent its members in these areas.
“Through its partnership
with the PPA, RBS is
looking to deepen its

Having an in-depth

services we offer to our
publisher clients.”
John Dixon, head of media,
