Acquisition Announcement

New Era for kbbreview Publisher

Taylist Media, the publisher of kbbreview, has revealed a new era for the company after selling leading consumer magazine Kitchens Bedrooms & Bathrooms.

The sale allows Taylist to become a dedicated business-to-business media company built around the kbbreview brand and specialising in the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom market.

It also secures an exciting new future for Kitchens Bedrooms & Bathrooms with new owner Content Media Services Ltd, part of Datateam Business Media Limited.

"We're delighted to start this new chapter as a dedicated B2B company," said Taylist Media owner and co-founder Patrick Taylor. "It gives us the chance to concentrate on our core kbbreview audience and deliver even more market leading print, digital and event services to this market we've been proud to serve for over 40 years.

"And I am equally as pleased that Kitchens Bedrooms & Bathrooms has a fantastic new home where it can grow and develop even more. I'm really looking forward to seeing such a great magazine flourish."

Martin Tingle, MD of CMS commented: “We’re delighted to bring Kitchens Bedrooms & Bathrooms into our portfolio. It’s a well-established and trusted brand, and we see significant opportunities to grow it further alongside the existing editorial team.”

“The title is a natural fit with our wider portfolio, where we already provide UK homeowners with practical guidance on planning permission, building regulations and home improvement projects. Together, this develops a strong inspiration platform for helping people plan, design and deliver better homes.”
