Launch of new independent industry magazine now just eight days away.
As those of you that follow us on Facebook or Twitter will be aware, we have been beavering away in a darkened room for the past few months to bring you the latest evolution in demolition coverage; a new industry magazine that will (initially at least) be available in paper form here in the UK and electronic form in the rest of the world*
Like DemolitionNews itself, Demolition magazine is designed to be totally independent and carries with it no political baggage, trade association bias or geographic boundaries. It is designed to be inclusive, not exclusive. And it is designed to reflect the fact that demolition is the job that you do, it is not who you are.
So while 95 percent of the content will focus on demolition matters, methods and machines, we’re not afraid to take a wider look at the needs of the modern demolition man. We plan to include items on things like smart phones and apps, cars, vehicles and clothing for on-site and off, and – as is the case in our first edition – watches.
We have deliberately designed the look and feel of the new magazine to make it equally at home on the coffee table in your company reception area, or on the coffee table in your front room at home.
But those that are interested purely in the big bangs and big diggers will not be disappointed. And rather than paying each item lip service, the size of the magazine constrained by advertising yields and print costs, we aim to cover subjects in depth.
In the first issue, an interview with respected UK industry veteran John Mould runs to six pages; a look at the OilQuick system in action with Bond Demolition in Wales runs to five pages; and our look at the systems and solutions available in the dust suppression field covers 12 full pages. And there is much more besides in our awesome-looking 60-page strong launch edition.
Of course, we couldn’t have done this without the support, assistance and (in some cases) blind faith shown by the advertisers seeking a new way to get their message in front of demolition professionals like you. We sincerely hope that you will repay their faith by checking out their ads and finding out more about their products and services. That is the only way the magazine will survive and thrive.
And so the countdown has begun. Eight days from now, the magazine landscape of the demolition industry changes forever. So whether you find a copy on your doorstep (if you’re in the UK) or in you Inbox (if you’re elsewhere, we hope that you enjoy our first issue and we hope even ore that you will take the time to tell us what you think (good or bad). As an independent publisher, we are as flexible as an Olympic gymnast and will gladly shape the new magazine to suit your specific needs.
We are now heading back to that darkened room to start work on Issue 2 which will be out at the end of March…Watch this space.
*Overseas readers will be able to buy paper copies if they wish.
