Johnston Press awarded Daily Mail printing contract
25 January 2017: Johnston Press plc ("Johnston Press" or "the
Company"), is pleased to announce that it has entered an agreement
with Associated Newspapers Limited ("ANL"), owners of the Daily
Mail, to print the Monday to Saturday issues of the Daily Mail
newspaper at its Portsmouth Web facility in Hampshire. This follows
the announcement by ANL of the closure of their print site at
Didcot. The Daily Mail copies will serve the entire South West and
Portsmouth Web is well positioned to meet the delivery requirements
of the newspapers.
The contract is a multi-million pound contract across a five
year period and ANL will have the option to extend the term after
the five years. This new business comes on top of the Metro
contract won by JP-owned Portsmouth Web last October, which is a
12-month rolling contract serving copies into the southern
regions.
Ashley Highfield, Chief Executive Officer of Johnston Press,
said:
"We are delighted to win this new business on top of the Metro
contract just recently won and this further confirms our printing
services division as one of the best in the country. This latest
long term contract will give the staff a real boost and their
ability to deliver such prestigious titles against very tough
competition is a great reflection on the business."
Johnston Press also prints copies of the Daily/Sunday Express,
the Daily/Sunday Star, The Guardian and Observer in Ireland, some
Trinity Mirror regional titles and some Tindle Newspaper
titles.
