Awards</a></li></ul></li></ul> </div> <div id="right2Col"> <div id="contentPadding" class="staticContent"> <p>The Marcus Morris Award is the highest accolade in magazine publishing in the UK and was established by the PPA and endowed by The National Magazine Company in 1990. The award recognizes and commemorates the exceptional career and outstanding contribution to the UK magazine industry of the Reverend Marcus Morris OBE.</p> <p>Marcus Morris’s publishing career began in 1950 when he launched the incredibly successful <em>Eagle </em>comic. He remained editor of three further comics with Hulton Press until 1959, before moving into editorial management in women's magazines, serving as editor on <em>Housewife</em>. He was named editorial director of The National Magazine Company in 1960 and became managing director in 1964. During the next two decades, Morris he successfully merged <em>Queen </em>and <em>Harper's Bazaar </em>into <em>Harpers and Queen</em>; launched <em>Cosmopolitan</em>; purchased <em>The Antique Collector </em>and launched <em>Company</em>. In 1977, together with the Condé Nast Publications, he formed COMAG by combining the two circulation departments. Prior to his retirement in 1984 he was deputy chairman of The National Magazine Company for two years and chairman of COMAG. In 1983 he was awarded the OBE. Morris died on 16 March 1989. </p> <p>The Marcus Morris Award honours an individual who has made a significant and longstanding contribution to the magazine publishing business, either through their extraordinary leadership, skill and understanding in unifying the editorial, advertising, circulation and business aspects of magazine publishing into a successful enterprise; or through their notable contributions to the magazine industry as a whole. The recipient of the PPA Marcus Morris Award receives a silver trophy- a replica of the emblem of the <em>Eagle</em> comic – together with a citation and an honorarium of £1,000.<br/></p> <h2>Roll of honour</h2> <h3>2008 - Helen Alexander</h3> <p>Helen moved to The Economist in 1985 as marketing manager. She became managing director of The Economist Intelligence Unit in 1993 and in 1997 became chief executive of The Economist Group. Helen was chief executive for 11 years until she stepped down in June 2008. She was awarded a CBE for services to publishing in 2004.</p> <h3>2007 - Ian Locks</h3> <p>Under Ian's leadership, PPA grew from 120 member companies and a turnover of £600,000, to a membership of nearly 300 publishers. He is credited with revolutionising the association at a time of enormous change in the media.</p> <h3>2006 - Sally Cartwright</h3> <p>Sally, director-at-large <em>HELLO!</em>, was key figure in bringing celebrity magazines to the UK.

Alan's career in publishing took him from sales and distribution to becoming the managing director of H Bauer, one of the ground-breaking companies in the field of mass-market magazines.

Throughout his career Terry has also made it his mission to find the best people and develop talent for the industry. </p> <h3>2000 - John Bird </h3> <p>John is the man behind the publishing phenomenon that is <em>The Big Issue </em>- the magazine sold by homeless people so they can earn an income and regain their self esteem. Following the launch of <em>The Big Issue </em>in the UK in 1991, 'street publishing' now spans the globe and <em>The Big Issue </em>has expanded into Western and Eastern Europe, South Africa, Australia and America. </p> <h3>1999 - Tony Elliott </h3> <p>Tony can be described as one of the originators of the phenomenon of developing a magazine title into a recognisable international brand.

Thirty years on, the Time Out Group has an annual turnover of more than £20 million.</p> <h3>1998 - Michael Potter </h3> <p>Michael launched Redwood Publishing with Christopher Ward in 1982. Twenty years later the company employs 260 staff and has a turnover of more than £50 million. "He is largely responsible for the growth of contract publishing", said Christopher Ward, "and has personally launched more than 50 magazines….If he has any regrets, I suspect it is that he hasn't launched twice the number".</p> <h3>1997 - John Brown </h3> <p>John has, as managing director of John Brown Publishing, embodied much of what magazine publishing is about in the 1990s. His pioneering approach has been watched by others and then emulated, making him a worthy recipient of the Marcus Morris Award.</p> <h3>1996 - Graham Sherren and Anthony Nares </h3> <p>Graham and the late Anthony Nares have made an immeasurable contribution to the face of business magazine publishing in the UK. Together they formed a powerful partnership, blending unique creative and business acumen with an entrepreneurial spirit.</p> <h3>1995 - Joan Barrell </h3> <p>Joan has been behind the success stories of some of the key titles in UK magazine publishing. She was commended for combining obvious commercial expertise with a detailed understanding of the editorial product. Joan was a board member of The National Magazine Company and an active ambassador for magazines within the UK advertising industry.</p> <h3>1994 - John Mellon</h3> <p>John's vision in steering IPC Magazines through a decade of change were commended by the PPA board. Having prepared the company for the challenges to it's core weeklies' business, he used his vision and courage to transform IPC's share of the TV listings market, before moving on to bring the same set of high standards to Reed Business Publishing.</p> <h3>1993 - David Arculus and Robin Miller</h3> <p>The PPA board felt it was impossible to separate the contributions which David Arculus and Robin Miller had made to the UK publishing industry through their years at the helm of EMAP. They created an entrepreneurial climate for the company which has enabled it to grow into a formidable publishing empire.<br/></p> <h3>1992 - Chris Anderson</h3> <p>The founder of Future Publishing has been hailed as one of the great entrepreneurs of the industry. He built the company from its roots in 1985 into a key player, introducing covermounts and being among the first to go to the Macintosh page make-up while still realising the importance of getting the editorial product right.</p> <h3>1991 - Felix Dennis</h3> <p>Innovation, the readiness to take risks, and an undaunted enthusiasm for magazine publishing, are just some of the qualities which Felix shares with Marcus Morris. From early beginnings on <em>Oz </em>he pioneered microcomputer publishing on both sides of the Atlantic.</p> <h3>1990 - Nick Logan</h3> <p>Publishing for the teenage market was the outstanding success story of the 1980s and Nick has been attributed as the man behind it. He had the idea for the runaway success story which <em>Smash Hits </em>was to become during the 1980s, and followed this with the mould-breaking <em>The Face</em>.<br/></p></div> </div> </div> <div
