The judges praised the organisation’s transformation over the past three years, noting:

‘With new partnerships, commercial collaboration, and accessible guidance on complex issues, the PPA continues to champion its members and strengthen the publishing sector. Over the past three years, the PPA has transformed into a future-focused trade body, with new steering committees, stronger policy influence, and growing membership. Campaigns such as Make It Fair have placed members’ voices at the centre of national debate on AI and copyright, while initiatives like the Action Net Zero Pathway and the Next Gen Board drive sustainability and inclusion.’

Sajeeda Merali, CEO of the PPA commented: “We’re delighted to be recognised for the hard work we have been doing for members on behalf of an industry we proudly and passionately represent. Our members are at the core of everything we do, and we look forward to continuing to champion your needs. Well done to the whole PPA team.”
