In August the company restructured its Manchester operation, Trafford Press, merging Trafford Press Corporate with its London-based financial operation Greenaways, while Trafford Press Commercial became Pillans & Waddies (Manchester).

Hodgson, who currently splits his time between Edinburgh, Manchester and London, will increasingly be based at the companys new headquarters in Edinburgh.
