Factory Groove
20% more factories in the UK have bought a PRS Music licence in the last two years.
The music PRS represents has never been more in demand in the manufacturing sector.
Factory owners are increasingly aware of how music can boost staff morale and positively affect their business.
Studies have shown an increase of up to 22% in productivity when fast-paced music is played to teams carrying out routine activities.
If factories play music they need clearance to do so from the owners of that music. PRS represents the owners and can give you the permissions you need, enabling your access to the world's music in the most efficient way.
PRS Public Performance Sales Managing Director Keith Gilbert said: ‘Many factories recognise that playing the right kind of music increases productivity and morale for staff.‘
‘It can cost you as little as 22p a day to improve the working atmosphere for your employees and have a positive impact on your business.
‘A PRS Music licence gives you permission to play 10 million pieces of music, and because we are a not-for-profit organisation this money is paid back to the people who created the music.’
Owners and managers of factories can call 0800 068 4828 for further information and to receive a free quote for a PRS Music Licence.

Notes for editors:
· PRS, The Performing Right Society, creating a future for music. As a not-for-profit membership society, PRS ensures composers, songwriters and music publishers are paid royalties when their music is used. Music is everywhere, every day: live performance, TV and radio, CDs, DVDs, downloads, streams and everything in between. Royalties create a future for music by supporting creators while they continue to write. www.mcps-prs-alliance.co.uk
· Research - In 1999, Dr Adrian North (Music Psychologist, University of Leicester) investigated the effects of music within the workplace. Research revealed that:
• Productivity is lower when no music is played
• Fast music really does improve the productivity levels of employees
• Playing music results in higher employee morale
