St Ives Web Division Wins TNT Magazine Print Contract

Friday 20. June 2008 - St Ives Web, the magazine printing division of St Ives plc, the UK's largest provider of print and added value services, has been awarded TNT magazine's 3-year print contract. The St Ives Peterborough site will be responsible printing and distributing the A4 saddle stitched weekly title, which is printed on Goss M-850 and MAN Roland Lithoman presses and finished using a Ferag high-speed stitcher.

Jim Murray-Jones, CEO, TNT Publishing Ltd, comments: “We needed a print supplier and partner that we could trust to meet our very tight deadlines, and unique distribution requirements. TNT magazine is distributed free every Monday morning at 700 outlets across London, and because of the nature of the magazine, in which we include international news and sports results, the files aren’t delivered to the printer until late Sunday morning. St Ives’ group resource offers the peace of mind that our magazine will hit the streets on time no matter what, and its commitment to quality and customer service means that our magazine is well looked after.”

Established in 1983 TNT magazine is regarded as the bible for Antipodeans and South Africans filled with invaluable information including travel, jobs, lifestyle, entertainment, news and sport for those travelling to and living in London. The weekly title is distributed free in London and other cities across the UK.

“We are looking forward to developing our partnership with TNT magazine, to ensure that we fulfil its brief to meet TNT’s time sensitive deadlines, requirement of high quality printing, provision of added value products and help to ensure supplier stability and reliability for the future,” says Tony Ayles, sales director, St Ives Web division.
