“After 30 years in the music industry I learned that business is built on relationships. Joining the MIA early on strengthened those connections and eased the isolation of running a business. Within the Association, there’s always someone who understands the challenges we face. In today’s rapidly changing industry, that unity is more valuable than ever.”

“Being part of the MIA connects me with an incredible community of retailers and manufacturers, perhaps all with different goals, but all willing to give back to our industry.  The collaboration opportunities, possibility of learning from each other and support such as legal advice have been invaluable. I’d highly recommend more people in our industry seek out the full benefits of the MIA.”

“Being part of the MIA keeps us connected to the people and issues that matter. We hear what’s changing across the industry, compare notes with peers, and get clear pointers when questions arise – especially around legal or compliance topics. The updates and briefings help us read the market and the wider retail environment, so we can make steadier decisions day to day.”

“At D’Addario, we value our membership in the Music Industries Association because it allows us to connect and collaborate with other leaders across all areas of the industry, from retail and distribution to manufacturing and beyond. By working together and speaking with one unified voice, we can help protect, promote, and sustain the music products sector across the UK.”

“When we have something to say about the things that effect our business, a strong association voice is always louder than a lone one. This is why the MIA gets our support.”
