Its been a good year here at Perendale Publishers

At our Cheltenham headquarters here in the UK, we have welcomed several new staff who have already made a positive impact on the magazine and settled in well with the existing team.

Like the content, our distribution is also decidedly international. Print copies are circulated to subscribers from over 87 countries and at a host of international trade shows and events in addition to a precisely controlled circulation list.  Each of our magazine's content is available online for free and can be found on a number of other sites.

On top of this, there were two big distribution milestones in 2012. First, we began producing a Spanish-language edition of both International Aquafeed (IAF) and Grain & Feed Milling Technology (GFMT) which is establishing itself in the Latin American market; second, we signed a partnership agreement with Assocom-India Pvt to print and distribute 1,500 copies of each issue of GFMT to flourmills in India. We were already reaching the key feedmills in that country.

GFMT's sister publication, The International Milling Directory, celebrated its 21st edition in style with more than 1,200 listed companies and a print run of 8,000 copies. Again this valuable resource can be accessed online free-of-charge, not to mention as a web app for mobile devices and we have even more exciting plans in the pipeline for 2013.

We'll be kicking off the New Year with the first Global Milling Conference in Chennai, India, from February 7-9.  The GFMT team are co-organisers of the event which will focus on both food and feed milling.

We are also delighted to announce a Chinese language version of GFMT & IAF for 2013 which will reach our readers in the world's most populous country.

Despite a very tight year financially, we consider 2012 successful in terms of reaching a wider audience with content that readers find valuable through a host of distribution methods; from digital to print and from English to Spanish. We look forward to developing more services for our readers in 2013.

All this was only made possible with support from you, the reader - so we would like to say a big thankyou for your continued support of our titles, and wish you all a happy, healthy and prosperous 2013.
