IPIA meets the Chancellor and champions print
T
he IPIA has continued to champion print at the heart of Government - with its Chair Charles Rogers having attended a Business Leaders Reception at No10 Downing Street at the invitation of the Chancellor, Jeremy Hunt MP.
This is the second Business Leaders Reception attended by the IPIA, in addition to two formal meetings with special advisors to the Prime Minister - all held at No10.
The event took place on December 20th, and its aim was to bring together influential representatives from key sectors of the UK economy and foster collaboration between them. Charles met the Chancellor following his address to the reception. They discussed the projected impact of the policies announced in his recent Autumn Statement - while impressing on him the critical importance for print to be included in manufacturing support initiatives, such as the Energy-intensive Industries Scheme. Charles comments: “To be invited as the Chair of the IPIA to a reception hosted by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Jeremy Hunt, is recognition of how important the print and paper industries is to the health of the UK economy. During our conversation he was receptive to the points being put across in regard to the need for further print and paper industry support and welcomed further representations. “In fact, in a broader sense it’s not the IPIA being invited, but the entire print and paper industries. Sectors such as finance, IT, life sciences, hospitality, health care and fast-growing entrepreneurial start-ups - to name a few - were all in attendance. This is so that Government can either learn from them, or impress upon them, strategy or policy to improve the economy.” Charles continues: “The reception provided a fascinating insight into how other sectors view ours. It also provided a valuable platform to raise the profile of our industry and highlight how critical it is to the functioning of so many other parts of the economy.”

Charles continues: “I was immensely proud to represent our industry and the IPIA. Our repeated invitations to No10 reflect how far we have come over the last few years - and it is very rewarding to see the hard work and perseverance of our Association making an impact.
“We will continue to advocate for policies that will address the issues reported by IPIA members, industry businesses and allied associations - which are hindering our industry’s growth and long-term stability. Our work will continue in 2024 and we welcome, and would encourage, engagement from the industry to represent its interests.”
