Findlay Publications is highly regarded in manufacturing industry and among UK business publishers as an independent, mid-size company with unusually high quality standards in all its operations.

As the UK's premier publishing and communications group serving manufacturing industry, the corporate objectives are to:

• Deliver market leading publications to all of the key technical decision makers
• Provide a comprehensive range of innovative marketing services to supplier companies
• Work with national organisations to promote positive change in UK manufacturing's methods and management, product and process innovation, quality and productivity
• Be the employer of first choice for talented people who seek challenging and rewarding career development in a high quality business

Findlay editors and researchers are the navigators of the company. Their close contacts with readers, opinion formers, industry bodies and suppliers represents the core intelligence that drives and shapes the company and its products.

Another major competitive advantage is the quality of the The Masterfile Census of UK Manufacturing, Findlay's unique database of manufacturing companies and the managers and engineers within them.

This is built by researching and mapping the universe of technical decision makers in companies of all sizes, then verifying this by independent audit. No other company knows as much about the individuals and teams responsible for purchase decisions across manufacturing industry. And no other company brings together multiple marketing solutions of such high quality.

These unique standards have been shared and built over 30 years by a team of 100 people generating sales of £8 million. All shareholders are employees, and the company has consistently reinvested profits to increase the value of services to customers. The commitment, enthusiasm and expertise of Findlay people are widely recognised alongside the integrity and continuity they bring to client relationships.
