    Land Rover Enthusiast merges with Land Rover Monthly

    Dennis Publishing issued the following press release this week.

    Acquisition of Land Rover Enthusiast Magazine

    As most of you will be aware, Dennis Publishing acquired Land Rover
    Monthly in November 2009, adding the magazine to its highly successful
    motoring portfolio that includes Auto Express, Evo, and Octane
    magazines.
    Our intention is to continue the great work of Land Rover Monthly and
    establish the title as a formidable force in the Land Rover
    marketplace. To date we have invested in the editorial product,
    developed plans to launch a major marketing effort in the spring of
    2010, and moved the Land Rover Max Show to the UK’s best showground on
    the best weekend in the year. Already the magazine has started 2010
    with its best ever sales on the UK newsstand.
    We are now delighted to announce the acquisition of Land Rover
    Enthusiast, which will be incorporated into Land Rover Monthly
    magazine with effect from the June issue.
    LRE was launched in 2000 and has established a loyal following in the
    market. After three years as publisher, Bruce Skivington has decided
    to retire and as a result came to an agreement with Land Rover Monthly
    to acquire the title."

    Apparently LRE subscribers will recieve LRM from the merged magazine.

    This followed their acquisition of Land Rover Monthly:

    G'day Folks

    I have just read through the press release, and it stated that they have aquired LRM magazine, which is an enthusiast magazine, owned by Richard Howell-Thomas and his wife Cathy Howell-Thomas, but it didn't state that Land Rover Enthusiast Magazine published by LRE Media Ltd and edited by James Taylor deputy editor Simon Hodder, and published by Bruce Skivington, had been acquired by Dennis Publishing, I may have missed something here but I doubt it.


    cheers

    LRE is a better name than LRM too.

    In actual fact I have purchased both titles and also land rover owners international, I would argue although it's writing format and presentation are that of a fanzine I always thought that The enthusiast had better articles and was more orientated to what land rover owners wanted to read.
    The other two are glitzy in competition style with ads galore only my take on it
