MAY has proved to be another record-breaking month for The Business. At 93,652 our audited sales for May show a year-on-year increase of 66% while the December 2001 - May 2002 six-month average has risen by 46% against the comparable period a year ago.
The quality of our UK, European, and international business news and analysis continues to be acclaimed not only in the UK, but across Europe where The Business is now widely available. The list of European countries where The Business is now on sale is growing each month as the papers reputation for quality is increasingly recognised by European businessmen and the British ex-patriot community.
The Business continues to break news stories ahead of other titles. In its 8 June issue, the Economist published "Enlargement. Is the venture in peril?", a theme first carried in The Business some 16 weeks previously. Last weeks edition contained several stories followed up by UK and international newspapers. Our story about Columbia TriStars bid for KirchMedia was followed up by the Financial Times last Monday. The Business was first to report that the Jarvis engineering group at the centre of the Potters Bar rail crash investigation would spark of a row by reporting much better than expected annual profits. And our report that Aberdeen Asset Managment was seeking to find ways to compensate victims of the split capital trust crisis made the front page of the Financial Times last Friday.
The Business. It is so much more than a Business section.
