Our vision
The UK’s leading independent accessible format provider
Our vision is built upon three pillars:
Unrivalled Accessibility
We uphold the gold standard for accessible formats, continuously delivering products that enrich the lives of our diverse audience.
Inclusive Excellence
We are committed to fostering inclusivity not only in our products but in every facet of our operations. We aim to be a beacon of diversity and understanding, nurturing a world where everyone’s needs are met with respect and consideration.
Improvement and Innovation
Embracing the spirit of innovation, we are an ever-evolving company fuelled by our workforce. Through ongoing internal assessment and the continual refinement of our services, we proactively adapt and thrive.
Our mission
To provide access to the inaccessible
We strive to achieve this through the production of top-tier accessible formats that not only meet the highest quality standards but are also competitively priced and delivered punctually, ensuring both customer and end-user satisfaction.
-
Elevating industry standards
We are dedicated to setting new benchmarks that redefine excellence in accessible formats.
-
Raising awareness and understanding
We aim to foster a greater understanding of the challenges faced by individuals with print impairment, promoting empathy and inclusivity.
-
Environmental responsibility
Operating conscientiously, we take active steps to minimise our environmental impact, demonstrating our commitment to sustainability.
Professionalism and care
In all our endeavours, we conduct ourselves with the utmost professionalism and care. This commitment extends from within Pia, among colleagues and key stakeholders, to our customers, to their customers and beyond, through community engagement and charity work.
Colleague Support
We prioritise a supportive work environment that empowers our colleagues to thrive both personally and professionally. We adopt an open-door policy, with feedback and communication actively encouraged.
Our focus on health and wellbeing is instrumental in our staff retention – something we are enormously proud of. For example, we offer professional wellbeing support through trusted external specialists, ensuring our team has access to the resources they need to feel their best. Our flexible working practices and family-friendly policies are designed to support a healthy work-life balance, empowering our people to succeed both at work and at home.
Becoming an employee-owned business reflects Pia’s deep commitment to our people, our purpose, and our long-term sustainability. This transition is not just a structural change—it’s a cultural one. By sharing ownership, we are future-proofing Pia while fostering greater engagement, accountability, and collaboration across the entire team.
Customer Experience
Customer happiness is at the core of our operations, and we go the extra mile to exceed expectations. Our loyal and growing customer base is testament to our strengths and the value we place on customer relationships.
We understand that every customer is unique, each with their challenges and ways of working. This is why we take the time to listen, learn, and adapt our approach to suit each client’s specific needs. We offer a bespoke service, tailoring our work to ensure the best possible outcomes for customers.
We aren’t simply delivering a service, but building lasting partnerships. We value open communication, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to success. By nurturing strong relationships and consistently delivering value, we create experiences that our customers trust and appreciate, time and time again.
Pia Achieves Success
We approach success not only as a measure of financial prosperity but as a reflection of the positive impact we make in the world around us. Success is intertwined with how we can improve accessibility, awareness, and environmental responsibility.
As we grow, so do our opportunities to invest in what matters most: our people, our planet, and our purpose. We’re committed to continuous improvement—not just in our services and technology, but in how we support and appreciate our team, enhance our workplace, and give back to the community.
Each year, we select charities and causes that align with our values, making donations that help drive change where it is needed. Giving back is a core part of who we are, and we’re proud to support initiatives that uplift others.
We’re actively working to reduce our environmental footprint. From embracing greener technologies to refining our daily operations, we’re committed to lowering our carbon impact and building a more sustainable future.
