That old chestnut again
Jackie West
Once again the UKBPR group has provided some useful information – this time from contributor Barrie Nicholson of Wordsun
The subject? Separation fees…
“Just had a call from a magazine called ‘Building and Facilities News’ for a
sep fee. Based in Halesowen, just like Fresh Media who have appeared here previously.
I downloaded the PDF of the magazine as I hadn’t heard of it before, and it
doesn’t appear to have any publisher details. Needless to say I’m not going
into it. I then came across this site:
http://www.advertisingprotectionagency.org/
The Advertising Protection Agency (TAPA) is the UK’s independent
organisation set up to provide legal assistance to UK businesses that are
being targeted by unlicensed marketing firms that coerce the selling of
advertising space through purported sponsorship publications on behalf of
charities, the emergency services and schools. TAPA also provides assistance
to businesses involved in disputes with advertising firms from any other
sector of the advertising industry.
On their site they publish a list of support publishing firms that are
“being monitored”. (There are 384 of them!) It includes Fresh Media.

Cheers Barrie! I’m sure we’ll all find this information useful.
