A new exciting chapter begins for Forecourt Trader as the fuel-retailing sector’s leading publication moves from print to put greater focus on its well-established digital media and prestigious events.
The last print edition of Forecourt Trader will be in this month, from when we will begin to add more to our digital offer and continue to develop our great events which connect and celebrate the industry like no others – The Forecourt Trader Awards, Summit and The Forecourt Show. We will also continue to publish the unique Top 50 Indies ranking and comprehensive annual Fuel Market Review.
Lorraine Hendle, managing director, retail & manufacturing at William Reed, which publishes Forecourt Trader, said: “The Forecourt Trader community is important to William Reed and over time we have evolved the Forecourt Trader brand to meet the changing needs of our customers and fuel retailing industry readers, delivering the best product through our content.
“We now need to evolve again. The last decade has seen more change in the market and media habits than ever before. We are all using digital channels to provide us with our information at pace and we are responding to that change. We want to continue to deliver the best market-leading information by embracing a digital future so we will be saying farewell to the print magazine in November.
“We will continue to provide the forecourt market with news, analysis, features, advice, opinion, insight, inspiration and support through our mobile-optimised website and will invest our resources into developing the best digital channel we can.
“Above all, as we evolve, we will continue with our mission to help dealers to run successful businesses, and will develop products and services that inform, inspire, connect and support your business so you yourselves can successfully adapt to the fast-changing market.
“We are really excited about the future and look forward to working with you.”
