H Bauer Publishing brings ad sales in-house

02 April 2008

This morning, H Bauer Publishing (HBP) announces that it has ended its long running relationship with The Publishing Consultancy (TPC) in the UK. HBP Media Sales which will be run as an internal division within the business will take charge of all of HBP's advertising sales. TPC's existing sales team will transfer to HBP as part of the move which will provide continuity of service and contact to media agencies.

David Goodchild, Managing Director of H Bauer Publishing, said "We have worked closely with The Publishing Consultancy for over twenty years in the UK and have enjoyed a very successful relationship. The move to bring advertising sales internally will provide a greater focus and closer tie to all our advertising clients.

I look forward to welcoming the team into the Bauer Group and wish the remaining management at TPC every success in the future."
