Press Distribution Charter seeks voluntary chairman

The Press Distribution Forum is seeking a Voluntary Chairman with a background in newspaper and magazine retailing to oversee the review of the Press Distribution Charter (PDC).

The PDC is a set of minimum standards which makes clear the service that retailers, their agents or retail head offices can expect from the industry supply chain. The PDC relates exclusively to newspapers and magazines.

The Chairman’s role will be to head up the review of the PDC and utilise their experience gained in the industry to support, guide, advise and challenge the Review Committee in terms of defining and delivering the long term standards and best practice, as well as identifying potential challenges before they materialise.

The PDF is looking for a well rounded individual, with the gravitas and influencing ability, who has the passion and enthusiasm to drive self-regulation forward.

It is anticipated that the position will require two days per month for an approximate six month period. This is a voluntary role which requires an individual, preferably with retail experience, looking to put his/her experience to good effect for the benefit of other retailers and the industry generally, however reasonable expenses will be paid.

Please submit your application by 31st July 2011 addressed to:
