Proper Music Distribution is the largest independent distributor in the UK market and the 8th largest overall (CIN scanned sales: January 2005). As such we are in a unique position to offer the service and relationship you expect from an indie whilst benefiting from major levels of market access. Directly we supply over 1,000 specialist music retailers plus in excess of 2,000 supermarket and family stores. We have close relationships with the key national chains such as HMV, Virgin and Borders, the major online retailers whilst our innovative Proper Partner network offers great cost effective opportunities with indie retailers.

Working closely with the labels that we represent, we offer a full sales and marketing distribution package. Starting initially as a company focussed on roots music we've enjoyed great success across the whole musical spectrum - recent best sellers include the UK's foremost folk collective Bellowhead, Bluegrass legend Alison Krauss and even the current king of hip-hop, The Game. Such is the nature of the UK retail market, we can handle sales and marketing for all genres although we recommend that specialists are employed for PR & plugging activity.

Our continuing year on year growth and consolidated position as the UK's leading independent distributor is testament to the quality, service & commitment that we provide to the labels and artists we represent, together of course with the retail customer base. In an industry currently beset with doomsayers, our passion for the music and belief in the business truly sets us apart.
