The company is an award-winning publishing house in central London that produce papers/reports and supplements which are exclusively published into one of London’s most read broadsheets with a target audience of c-suite individuals. The company was founded on the idea that 'the intelligent mass still values focused, high quality commercial content which is produced professionally and presented to an extremely high standard’.
