Bauer Publishing UK was honoured at last night’s PPA Awards in the special Business Excellence category.

The award recognises one organisation within the industry that has strived for operational excellence, outstanding performance, and putting people at the heart of everything it does. Bauer was lauded for its work across a number of areas from commercial and operations to sustainability, diversity and inclusion, and creativity.

Chris Duncan, CEO, Bauer UK Publishing said: “This award is testament to our standing in the UK publishing industry which is founded on the passion, dedication, skill and excellence of the brilliant talent that makes up our business.

“For this to be recognised by a judging panel made-up of our peers and our competitors is a huge honour. I would like to thank everyone that has contributed to our success.”

The strong track record of Bauer and its brands in tackling issues of social justice and important causes was highlighted by the PPA Judges, who stated: “Their extensive portfolio of brands engages with audiences around topics they care passionately about. The winner has – over the years – built a strong reputation for raising the profile of important causes… This year’s winner has clearly demonstrated the importance of using their brands and influence to continually stand up for the issues that matter most to their readers and their teams.”
