Editorial submissions

We welcome articles from suppliers about current issues/updates in your commodity markets, case studies, best practice, sustainability etc. There is no charge for placing these articles, but they must focus on the ‘big issues’, rather than being an overt ‘sell’ for a particular supplier. If you have any suggestions please contact Giorgia Varriale.

Advertising

Circulation of the magazine reaches more than 500+ individual members. Advertising opportunities are available to UKUPC approved framework suppliers. For information on rates & guidelines, please see our Marketing Opportunities page.
