On 25 June, the PPA Awards 2025 brought together the best of the publishing industry to celebrate bold ideas, brilliant content, and the people driving it all forward.

We’re delighted to share that on 15 April 2025, ESco underwent our latest BACS audit and passed with flying colours. As a BACS-approved bureau, this means we’re officially reaffirmed and fully authorised to process Direct Debits on behalf of our clients—securely, accurately, and with complete confidence.

At ESco, we believe that looking after our mental health isn’t just a once-a-year thing – it’s something we weave into the fabric of who we are and how we work, every single day. But this week, for Mental Health Awareness Week, we turned the dial up a notch.

Keeping payment data safe isn’t just good practice – it’s non-negotiable. PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is the global benchmark for protecting cardholder info and tackling fraud head-on.

On Wednesday 7 May, the sun was shining and the conversations were flowing which could mean only one thing –it was PPA Festival time again!

On Thursday 1 May 2025, Team ESco joined the buzz at the Memcom Conference – our first time at this flagship event for membership sector leaders, and what a brilliant day it was.

The Countryside Alliance has been standing up for rural communities for decades — championing countryside causes in Parliament, rallying supporters on the ground, and campaigning for a vibrant, sustainable future.

There’s a big shift coming in how businesses handle customer and member data—and we’re here to make sure you’re ready. The UK government is introducing the Data Use and Access Bill, and it’s going to affect anyone who stores, manages, or markets to a customer base.

We’re all about continuous improvement—and our eCommerce platform is no exception. Over the last year, we’ve continued enhancing functionality to support new membership models, improve user experience, and stay ahead of regulatory changes.

We’re always proud to see our clients making waves in the industry – and we’re especially excited to highlight a recent feature on the InPublishing website that shines a spotlight on Women’s Running, a standout title from one of our long-standing clients, Anthem Publishing.
