A landmark regional newspaper decision by the Office of Fair Trading gave the go-ahead for the free title to be acquired by Northcliffe Media’s Nottingham Post Media Group.
Steve Auckland (pictured), Northcliffe Media’s Group CEO said: “This is our first acquisition since I joined the company and demonstrates Northcliffe’s desire to grow its businesses. The Topper is a great free newspaper and we’re really pleased to have its team working with us.”
