"Magazine publishing is changing in all sectors as the digital landscape re-shapes itself," says Perendale's owner and publisher Roger Gilbert.

"In trade publishing, we must adopt to the new ways our readers expect to find and use information. By strengthening our teams with the addition of Lee and Sophia we will deliver better services to loyal readers and those seeking to find specific information while meeting the key objectives of our advertising clients.

We were innovative leaders in our field in 1891 when our first magazine - GFMT - was launched and we are innovative leaders today as we adapt to the digital era in the 21st Century," he says.

In addition to the two head office appointments, we are also strengthened our operations outside the UK with imminent appointments in Latin America, Australia and the recent appointment of an agent within China: Talent Asia Services Ltd based in Hong Kong (talenta1@netvigator.com).
