IPC Media sells three motoring magazines

By Rachael Gallagher

IPC Media has sold three of its niche motoring titles to specialist magazine publisher Kelsey Publishing Limited.

The Kent-based publisher has acquired 4×4, Land Rover World and Volkswagen Golf+ from Loaded publisher IPC.

Titles already in Kelsey Publishing’s portfolio include Total BMW, Country Kitchen, Modern Mini and Classic Van and Pick Up.

Staff on the titles will relocate to Kelsey Publishing’s offices in Kent.

Paul Williams, managing director of IPC Inspire, said: ‘I’d like to thank the staff of these titles for their commitment and dedication to the magazines over the years.

“Kelsey Publishing is a great business with a focus on motoring magazines that makes it the ideal new home for these specialist titles.’

Steve Wright, managing director of Kelsey Publishing, said: ‘These three magazines will take our presence within the motoring sector to a new level.

“This is the biggest acquisition our company has ever made and we are excited to have the opportunity to grow these titles within our business.’
