It was great to go for a walk on Hampstead Heath yesterday with my @PPLUK colleague Natalie Wade as she tries to keep up her fitness during her battle with cancer. We all really miss and wish her all the best with her treatment. She is an amazing person, showing great strength!

Thank you for your kind words Andrea and for all the collaboration from you and your team on PPL PRS Ltd and a range of other initiatives. Many congratulations on the 110th anniversary for PRS for Music.
Congratulations to @PPLUK on celebrating 90 years. Your dedication to supporting artists and protecting their rights has been invaluable. We’re proud to work so closely with you through our data collaborations, and perhaps most importantly our joint venture @PPLPRS which has seen an impressive £1bn+ in royalties paid out since it launched. Here's to many more years of success and collaboration.
