Think Publishing was the big winner at the PPA independent publishers awards yesterday scooping three prizes including the coveted award of independent publishing company of the year.

The publisher also collected the customer magazine of the year prize for its magazine, Beer, as Think’s Tilly Boulter collected the individual achievement award.
