Menzies Distribution secures Frontline and Seymour magazine contracts
Menzies Distribution, the newspaper and magazine wholesaling division of John Menzies plc, is today pleased to confirm that it has successfully renegotiated contract terms with Frontline, the UK's largest magazine distributor.
Menzies can also confirm that it has separately renegotiated contract terms with Seymour, another of the county's largest distributors.
Together, these distributors account for around 42% of the national magazine market.
The new agreements, which will both start in April 2010, will see Menzies Distribution grow their share of both distributors' titles from 37% to around 45% - in total worth more than £232m of trade sales value.
Ellis Watson, Managing Director said,
"I am delighted to have secured these deals. They are a recognition of our commitment to providing our customers with the best possible service and I look forward to working closely with Frontline and Seymour.
This is a significant step forward for our business and will see our entry into a number of new geographical territories. I am confident that we can continue this positive contract momentum."
