Owner of Service Dealer, Duncan Murray-Clarke has revealed that the title will undergo a redesign for 2022.
Duncan said, "We are continually monitoring feedback as well as researching our readership. Although there is a continued shift to digital, it is very clear that the Service Dealer magazine is valued and readers still very much see a future in a printed edition.
"Print is by no means dead, so for this reason we have invested in a redesign and brand evolution to keep what we do current. It is so important to keep looking forwards whilst keeping one eye on the heritage and 33 year history of Service Dealer. In addition we have also been working towards lowering the environmental impact of the magazine with FSC approved paper, compostable wrapper and water based inks".
Duncan continued, "Our approach is one of constant self-improvement. We hope that by producing such a well-respected journal, we are assisting in raising the profile of the industry. This year we are proud to have been recognised by outside industry bodies. We were shortlisted for Best Business Magazine by the PPA and gained recognition as national winner at the Rural Business Awards.
"Our new style is crisp and modern, benefiting our readers with a pleasing-to-the-eye style. What however won't be changing, is our promise to the industry to keep our content relevant, on-point and proudly independent."
The first issue sporting the new look will be the January / February 2022 edition, arriving with readers at the start of the new year.
