Northcliffe Media Ltd. (formerly Northcliffe Newspapers Group) was a large regional newspaper publisher in the UK and Central and Eastern Europe, owned by Daily Mail and General Trust (DMGT).
It operates from over 30 publishing centres, and also has 18 daily titles. The main publishing centres for the newspapers are South West Wales Publications in Swansea, Bristol Print Centre (now closed) in Bristol, Derby Print Centre (now closed) in Derby, Rockwell Universal in Grimsby, Leicester Print Centre (now closed) in Leicester, Plymouth Print Centre (now closed) in Plymouth and Stoke Print Centre (now closed) in Stoke on Trent. As can be seen they may well soon not operate any of their own print centres.
Northcliffe runs a print and publishing service to businesses and organisations across the UK and Ireland. It also operates a retail division with 67 outlets and has Hungarian newspaper interests.
It also has risen to become one of the top two publishers, in terms of circulation, in Slovakia after as little as two-and-a-half years in the country. £22 million has been invested in the new Eastern European market since 2004.
They own Avizo, the leading daily classified newspaper in Slovakia, City Express was acquired, including two fortnightly titles, Auto Burza, a motors classified product and Burza Nehnutel’nosti, a property magazine.
In 2012, the company was sold by DMGT to a newly formed company, Local World, which also bought Iliffe News and Media from the Yattendon Group. In October 2015, TrinityMirror announced that it was acquiring the whole of Local News.
