BPIF calls on Government to extend business support

The BPIF today urgently called for further direct support for the printing industry during the coronavirus crisis. As the voice of one of the UK's key manufacturing industries (with a £14 billion turnover) the Federation reported unprecedented pressures on its members, the vast majority of whom are small and medium sized enterprises.

Charles Jarrold, British Printing Industries Federation CEO, comments:
"The impact of Covid-19 is equivalent to a natural disaster. Targeted and intense Government support to those businesses and individuals in need will minimise the biggest harms and enable our industry, and the economy, to recover more quickly once we are through the worst. This needs urgent and immediate action, we know Government are listening carefully to UK Industry and we hope the announcements later today will reflect our feedback."
