All bar one of top-selling titles now printed by London-based Walstead after closure of rival in Liverpool
As readers indulge in the comforting routine of browsing their favourite magazines, they will be oblivious to being part of a crucial tipping point, as all bar one of the nation’s top-selling titles move to being printed by Walstead, headquartered in London, the last remaining UK-based operation with the scale to handle them.
In recent months, companies including Rupert Murdoch’s News UK and the German magazine giant Bauer have moved to strike new printing deals – for titles including Heat and Grazia, all the weekly newspaper supplements and magazines for the Times, Sunday Times and Sun on Sunday – ahead of the closure of Liverpool-based Prinovis on Friday.
