data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">UK Print Industry: A Manufacturing Success

industry, with a history dating back to the granting of a Royal Charter to the Stationers Guild in 1557, has grown to consist of more than 4,000 businesses.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The UK is a leading developer and exporter of

data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The print industry directly contributes \u00a314 billion each year to the economy, employs 112,000 skilled workers across 8,000+ businesses, and generates \u00a33 billion in wage contributions.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In comparison to other sectors, the UK\u2019s

importance, the government&#8217;s engagement with the print industry has dwindled significantly over the last few decades.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Now, countries like the USA, China, Japan, Germany, and India, which have incorporated the print industry in their manufacturing growth strategies, outperform the UK in the global print market.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">However, the industry still holds immense potential in the UK with the right support and investment from the government. During their visit to Downing Street, the IPIA delegation, including Solopress\u2019 Simon Cooper, was able to highlight the many ways that government support could help the industry stay competitive and reverse its recent downturn.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Inclusion in initiatives like the Energy Intensive Industries utilities support scheme, provision of increased capital allowances on industry-specific investment, special classification for exports, and subsidies to reduce costs could significantly help the industry thrive. <\/span><span

data-contrast=\"auto\">The UK print industry has made significant strides in sustainability, leading the charge towards the government\u2019s ambitions of net zero. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It uses high sustainability index materials, develops recycling and remanufacturing initiatives, and supports global sustainability standards. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As the country evolves its place in the global economy post-Brexit, the print and paper industry, with the right support, can continue to thrive as a British manufacturing success story. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This aligns with the recent news that the UK has joined the Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) trading bloc, making it a crucial time to assist and help UK print and paper increase exports.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The integral role of the print

remains crucial for the functioning of various sectors, including manufacturing, retail, education, and pharmaceuticals. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Furthermore, our industry contributes to the country&#8217;s democracy by providing a platform for citizens to express their political preferences through printed voting ballots. <\/span><span

meeting at 10 Downing Street was to encourage the promotion of our industry so young talent can continue to be attracted into the sector. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Without such assistance, the skilled workforce will not be sufficient to meet future targets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> It&#8217;s a pressing concern that demands attention and collaboration between the industry and government to ensure a steady talent pipeline for the industry&#8217;s continuity and growth.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Solopress\u2019 growing role in the print

this meeting have taken an active step in bridging the gap between our industry and the government. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">By adding its voice to calls for greater support to safeguard the industry&#8217;s future, this move not only reflects Solopress\u2019 commitment to print, but also underlines its proactive approach to fostering growth, sustainability, and resilience from other leading figureheads in our industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Solopress MD, Simon Cooper said: &#8220;We highlighted the significant contributions of our sectors to the UK&#8217;s economic and social progress, focusing on technology innovation and sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was a great opportunity to not only get the government thinking about the vital role the print industry plays

the briefing notes on the importance of the print industry and how it can leverage its historical foundations and established infrastructure to remain resilient and grow further with appropriate
