After 81 years as a family-owned media company, RamsayMedia joined the Caxton stable as an independent subsidiary in March 2014. Already a shareholder for several years, Caxton and CTP Printers and Publishers became outright owners of the highly regarded company, paving the way for the retirement of chairman Alan Ramsay at the age of 71. Over time, the company – dedicated market-leading, special interest publishers – expanded from a stable of dominant magazine brands into a true multi-platform enterprise with a vast array of digital and mobile opportunities, events, exhibitions, an audiovisual production division and a variety of related media channels. At present, the company’s versatile portfolio embraces the automotive, travel, science and technology, sport and lifestyle markets – and competes in all three primary publishing categories: customer, consumer and business to business (B2B.) In all instances, these titles bear the hallmark of RamsayMedia: contemporary design and entertaining editorial of the highest quality, creating a powerful bond with readers, viewers and visitors. In 2008, the company was rebranded from Ramsay Son & Parker to RamsayMedia, reflecting the natural evolution of a media company rising to the challenge of a changing landscape – and coinciding with an investment in the company by CTP Caxton. With a reputation for excellence and a legacy of satisfied business partners, clients and readers, RamsayMedia is the leading choice in specialist publishing.
