Taking up the baton for our customers and raring to go!


We look back at the MBO, and look forward to the future with the announcement of an exciting initiative with the PPA to support our customers.


This is, of course, my first Pensord Edge as Managing Director of Pensord and my first duty is a very pleasant one, as I thank everyone who has passed on their kind words of support and best wishes to Karl and me over the past few weeks since our management buyout. The MBO signals the next stage of Pensord’s development and provides an exciting opportunity not just for Karl and me, but for our entire team. The support of our Pensord People, our customers and business partners has been overwhelming and very reassuring.


From a business perspective it’s an excellent time to be penning these notes with a record half year performance behind us and a number of initiatives coming to fruition. In the subsequent pages we will be sharing with you some of the feedback we have received following the MBO from our various stakeholders.


In this issue we are proud to be launching an exciting and innovative initiative to help our publishing customers make the most of the significant benefits

We also include details of some of the plans Karl and I have for the coming months, particularly in the area of investment and we detail our moves to further promote our Publication Health Check to help reduce costs for publishers. Plus there’s news of our appearance at forthcoming events such as IPAC’s Conference & Awards, mediaPro and Publishing Expo.


I do hope you enjoy this edition of the Pensord Edge and better still gain some value from it. As always we welcome any feedback you may wish to provide!
