PRESS RELEASE
We are pleased to announce the launch of a new trade magazine on
25 January 2013 to replace the former Christian Marketplace magazine.
This new 48 page, A4, bi-monthly magazine for retailers and suppliers
will be published by Christian Resources Together and known as
Together.
The decision to publish a new magazine has come about following
discussions with both retailers and suppliers who expressed a desire
to see a continuation of an independent print trade magazine.
The team behind Together are Steve & Mandy Briars, CRT, Publishers;
Clem Jackson, Editor (the former editor of Christian Marketplace) and Eddie Olliffe, Consulting
Editor.
Yeomans Print & Design of Paddock Wood, Tonbridge have been commissioned to design the
magazine which will be contemporary in style while retaining a familiar feel for the former Christian
Marketplace readers.
Along with regular features including trade news and product information the aim of Together
is to be a valuable resource for retailers with everything from author interviews to bookshop
profiles. It will be a magazine that is read and re-read by retailers and suppliers alike.
“We are delighted that CRT has taken the decision to publish a new trade magazine. We can feel
confident it will not only be a valuable resource but have retail at its heart.”
Tony Bronnimann, Quench Retail Stores
“This is extremely positive news for our trade. The strong and experienced team behind Together
gives us a well-founded confidence that this new initiative will fulfil the developing requirements of
retailers and suppliers in these changing times”
Brian Wilson, Chief Executive
“Together is a welcome new resource to inform and equip Christian retailers and suppliers.
In what continues to be a difficult trading time, we need a journal that will help us grapple with
big issues and rapidly changing market trends. Well done to Steve, Mandy, Clem and Eddie for
having the vision for Together and the passion to help our ministries reach their full potential. “
Karen Laister, Deputy Chief Executive, BRF
Plans are well on the way for the first edition which will be a 24-page preview issued on
25 January with the full 48-page magazine launched in April.
“I am pleased to be part of this new magazine as it is an opportunity to support, encourage
and resource the trade to build community at a time when we need each other.”
Clem Jackson, Editor
