Newspaper and magazine distribution

Every night during the nightly miracle we receive around 5 million newspapers. These are added to 2.1 million magazines and sorted into deliveries to be made in the early hours of the morning to more than 25,000 retail customers throughout the British Isles. Our fleet travels over 45 million miles each year. As well as delivering the news we also collect the retailers’ unsold copy, process these back and arrange recycling.
