Who we are
We publish magazines, journals and newsletters, as well as annual directories and handbooks for a wide range of organisations, companies and professional bodies.
For most of our clients, we provide a complete publishing service from researching and writing the editorial content all the way through to the despatch of the printed copies.
Others 'cherry pick' and use selected parts such as design and printing, or advertising sales.
Writing and Editing
Our specialist writing team are editors and journalists who investigate news stories and research in-depth features.
Combining our communication skills with the specialist knowledge of our clients - many of whom are the leaders in their field - we create publications that are read and referred to time and time again.
Design
Our graphic designers understand that if a publication doesn't look right, no one will read it.
No matter how excellent the editorial content, the title must look interesting, authoritative and be in tune with the readership.
Our designers work both on print and electronic media which means that if you want a web site to complement an existing publication, it can be done easily and quickly.
You also benefit from all the tools we use on our print publications; large image libraries, deadline orientated production and experienced, professional designers.
Publishing
Printing
The presses in our print department produce magazines, journals, newsletters and directories 24 hours a day. Print runs vary from 1,000 to 120,000 - and everything in between.
All scanning, repro, printing and finishing is carried out in-house under one roof. We don't have to rely on any third parties. Your publication is ready when you want it.
The quality is excellent and the price is right.
Digital publishing
An increasing number of the paper-based titles that we publish are now available in a variety of digital and on-line versions. As a publisher we don't recommend or sell one particular solution as being the answer but we do have a clear understanding of the options and provide a variety of solutions to suit the needs and aspirations of other publishers who want to make the most of their on-line presence.
Because we believe that digital publishing must best suit the title and the readership that it serves, we look at the market, what our client wants to achieve - what the various options cost - and work out the best way forward.
We also advise on and build in any commercial opportunities there may be for advertising and sponsorship.
On-line and digital presence is increasingly important for your publication and to your readers. Take advantage of it.
Distribution
Our mailing house is one of the largest in the UK, capable of mailing any quantity up to 10 million items!
Working in close liaison with the print department, schedules are tightly controlled and a publication will be despatched the same day that it is printed. Presstream, Mailsort and overseas bulk mailing facilities are all available.
