Universal Music Publishing Group has been named Publisher of the Year, sponsored by PRS for Music, at this year’s Music Week Awards.

The 2023 ceremony was held on 24th May at Evolution London in Battersea. The Music Week Awards is the only ceremony that recognises achievement across the whole industry, including labels, music publishers, live, radio, marketing and PR. Each year, these prestigious awards are peer-voted and judged by an independent panel of specialist judges.

On accepting the award, UMPG UK Managing Director Mike McCormack said: “Our mission at UMPG has always been very simple. Sign what we believe is the best of the best talent in the UK and stick with it, that won't change. Everything begins with the song, and once it’s coupled with a superstar, the effect is overwhelming.” 

A huge thankyou to our fantastic UMPG UK team, and all our incredible songwriters.
