Centaur has acquired Logistics Manager , a monthly magazine for
logistics professionals, and the two Logistics Link exhibitions that go
with it.
Centaur paid £500,000 to Seven Kings Publications.
The
magazine was launched in 1994, is published ten times a year, and has a
combined annual turnover with the exhibitions of £0.9m.
The acquisition is Centaur’s first in a new sector since the company was floated on the stock market in March last year.
Graham
Sherren, Centaur chairman and CEO, said: “We are very excited at the
prospect of being involved in the logistics and transport community and
see huge potential for both the magazine and the exhibitions.
“Serving
new communities is a key part of Centaur’s growth strategy and
Logistics Manager and Logistics Link fit the bill perfectly”.
The Logistics Manager and Logistics Link operations will move to Centaur’s offices in central London in early March.
