PrintWeek's annual list of industry power-brokers, the Power 100, is one of the most talked-about features of the year.

The list of the UK print industry’s great and good covers all links in the supply chain; buyers, printers, equipment or finance providers, association heads or academics.

All nominees must be based in the UK and work in a role directly linked to the printing industry.

Once chosen, the list is put before PrintWeek’s readers, who are invited to vote for the industry figures they rate most highly. An excellent interactive opportunity, it's a contentious, insightful and illuminating view of the powerful personalities that dominate the printing industry.

Compiled by PrintWeek and leading accountancy firm Grant Thornton, the Top 500 ranks UK print's biggest companies by turnover and other financial measurements.

PrintWeek and Grant Thornton carry out extensive research for this survey, which includes pulling accounts from sources such as Companies House.

The survey contains an economic outlook for the coming year, details of major mergers and acquisitions deals, views from the private equity sector, plus commentary on the most talked-about businesses in the industry.

Eligible companies can secure a place in the ranking by sending a copy of their latest audited accounts and company report to PrintWeek.
