room501 publishing

The gauntlet had been thrown and Room501 Ltd was more than ready to take up the challenge.

Christiana Mangold reports on the success of the first issue of a new contract publication for leading regional publication group.

Whilst the rest of the country was caught up with election frenzy during May, the creative bods at Room 501 Publishing Ltd were busy putting together the new and improved North East Contact Magazine for the first time.

Having been awarded the highly coveted contract back in March Room501 has worked around the clock to ensure their first edition is packed full of the regions latest and greatest business news. They are clearly on the ball, having included articles on how the Coalition Government could affect the North East and special features on the creative industry which is particularly vibrant within the region.

Promising to bring to the magazine their “high standards of design, production and editorial” Room501’s first edition, released this month, certainly delivers. The North East Chamber of Commerce is delighted with the style and content of the new magazine and the clear commitment and dedication of the new publishers.

The North East Chamber of Commerce are a “flagship client” for the Tyne & Wear media group who  publish other high calibre titles such as Business Quarter (BQ) magazine and food Quarter (FQ) magazine. Room501 publishing Ltd is a company whose heart and soul are based firmly in the North East business community.

With NE Contact magazine having been brought back into the region for production, a major re-vamp has taken place. New Editor Peter Jackson is keen for the magazine to echo the vibrant business community the North East has to offer and this is reflected in the new look publication; with more regionally relevant features focused directly on North East businesses. Clearly Room501 have met the challenge.
