The addition of distribution services extends the range of services to specialist publishers currently served by Acorn Web and Garnett Dickinson Print; design, printing, distribution, circulation management, subscription marketing and fulfilment.
Andrew Crowther, Managing Director of Native Publisher Services, said: "Native can now focus on our next stage of growth. We have over twenty years of experience in the UK news trade, subscription marketing and export. Now we can add even more services to our menu of publisher services, subscription fulfilment and print, and offer them all from the same site. It has always been our aim to be the best at what we do, and with the merger with Garnett Dickinson Group, this is already becoming a reality."
Nick Alexander, Group Chief Executive of Garnett Dickinson said: “Our publisher customers tell us they would like support in a number of core activities in addition to printing. Native is a long standing specialist business with great opportunity for growth that fits nicely with our portfolio of services and some of our publisher customers are already seeing the benefits to their magazines.”
