With a wealth of industry experience to call on having launched over 70 papers within the last four decades, Observer Standard was launched in 1989 and then Bullivant Media (including Magazine and Design divisions) were launched in 2009.

The company’s mission is to produce quality, free local newspapers, magazines and online news resources that generate high readership figures by delivering unrivalled coverage of local news with local and national advertisers.

Today, Bullivant Media is proud of being a family owned and run leading weekly regional news group across Warwickshire, Worcestershire and the West Midlands.
