Music Industries Association

FX Pedal Planet Online Store is now officially a member of the Music Industries Association (MIA) – the recognised trade body representing the UK’s musical instrument and equipment sector. This is an important step forward for us as a business and for the customers who choose to shop with us.

The MIA represents a broad network of UK based manufacturers, distributors, and retailers working in the musical instruments and gear sector. It exists to support the industry by building stronger connections between businesses, representing our collective voice at national level, and helping members stay informed and prepared in an evolving marketplace.

For our customers, being part of this trusted network means you’re buying from a retailer that’s actively engaged with the wider industry. Our membership gives us access to accurate, up to date information on key issues that affect the music gear market, from changes in trading regulations and product standards to insights on ethical business practices and customer rights.

It also means that we’re part of ongoing conversations about fair pricing, responsible retailing, and sustainable business models, all of which help us make more informed decisions that benefit the people who matter most: our customers.

By working with the MIA, we gain access to expert guidance and resources on everything from legal compliance and competition law to product safety and environmental considerations. This helps us operate with clarity, integrity and long term focus.

The MIA also plays an active role in protecting and promoting the interests of the UK music sector. By collaborating with organisations like the British Retail Consortium and the Creative Industries Federation, and engaging directly with Government, the MIA ensures that our industry’s voice is heard, especially when it comes to the challenges faced by independent retailers.

In short, our membership gives us the tools to be a better, more responsive retailer, and gives you added confidence that we take our responsibilities seriously.

If you'd like to learn more about the Music Industries Association and the work they do to support UK music businesses, we invite you to visit their website and explore their role in strengthening the sector for everyone involved.

Thank you for choosing FX Pedal Planet Online Store. We're proud to stand alongside other independent music retailers who are committed to fairness, quality and the future of music in the UK.
