Business to business publisher Charterhouse Communications has been carved up and sold off to a number of companies following a downturn in its fortunes.
The Wealth division, which publishes Company Refs, Company Guide and The Corporate Register were sold to Capital Ideas Financial Publishing, a subsidiary of Capital Ideas, for £195,000.
Capital Ideas has not taken on any of Charterhouse’s liabilities in the transaction. IIS Shares, which publishes Investing for Growth, was also sold to Capital Ideas.
Capital Ideas chairman, Renwick Haddow, said: ‘The ex-Charterhouse brands are very strong ones with more than 5,000 subscribers. This transaction will provide synergies and distribution opportunities for Capital Ideas’ other business interests, including its newly formed financial products business, to be launched shortly.”
