The win rounded off a good week for the Essex-based magazine printer, which also won both Business Magazine and Consumer Magazine Printer of the Year honours at this years PrintWeek Awards.

Sales and marketing manager Jon Hearnden said the company had been dealing with Incisive for two years, and the new contracts were the result of being patient in securing the business.

The on-going contracts will commence this month with the 15,500-print-run, 72pp flagship Investment Week, and will include its extensive range of supplements.

When we decided to put these titles out to tender from Polestar, ET Heron was clearly in the frame, said Nick Rapley, managing director of Incisive Medias investment division.

Rapley said the decision was made easy by ET Herons service offering, coupled with Hearnden who formed an integral part in the contract win.

The other four titles are all monthly publications and include Investment Weeks sister title International Investor along with Bloomberg Money and Fund Strategies. They will commence printing at ET Heron with the November/December issues.

A further title, Multi-Manager, will be printed at ET Herons sister company, Grange Press.

ET Heron already has Incisive titles Mortgage Solutions and Cover & Professional Broking in its print contracts portfolio.
