Dear Colleagues,

It is hard to believe a decade ago to this day, we set out as an independent company, distributing our first magazine – the July/August issue of French Magazine which went on to sell 2468 copies! Since then, we have gone on to sell millions of magazines globally, and continue to grow our valued client base.

It gives me an immense sense of pride as I reflect back on what has been an amazing journey, during which we have established ourselves as a highly successful player in the marketplace – thanks to all the hard work by everyone.

Of course, there has been no shortage ups and downs along the way, and some difficult bumps in the road that we have had to navigate our way through – none more so than the Covid-19 challenges we are facing right now – but we are meeting those in our usual style, head-on with the confidence, grit and determination that has delivered the levels of success we have achieved over the course of the last decade.

There have been many significant moments in our trading history to date. Some make me cringe, some make me proud and some infuriate me(!), but the majority make me smile knowing what a great team we are, what a great pool of talent we have built, and what a fantastic business we have – which I know can achieve even bigger and better things in the future, along with the people in it.

Clearly, we have currently been denied the opportunity to celebrate this significant milestone in a manner we all deserve and had planned. Regrettable though this is, we will do so just as soon as we are able, when I am sure we can make up for lost time!

It just remains for me to thank you all again for your continued hard work, commitment, and support – and to wish us all a very Happy 10^th Birthday!

Here’s to the next 10 years!

John
