PLASA Members who contributed to the research have already received a 22-page overview. In addition, each sector within the report can be purchased separately to ensure that only relevant information is obtained. Globally, the report values the industry’s international market at £11 billion with the UK representing a strong share of just under 13%, at £1.4 billion. The UK’s exports also look healthy with over a third of revenue derived from overseas.Among the issues raised by the report is a widespread concern over skills shortages in key areas, specifically technical and business skills. As part of its ongoing effort to reverse this skills shortage, PLASA has recently sponsored various initiatives, including subsidizing half of the course fee for the first 20 students taking the BTEC Theatre Technician module beginning at PLASA 2001, and providing a 20% discount on over 750 business-related courses for its members through Hawksmere Training. Over the next year, the Association plans to continue with its emphasis on training initiatives in order to meet the predicted 9% increase in demand for qualified personnel.
