Twist magazine publishers up for two national awards
The company behind a series of north Derbyshire glossy magazines – including Chesterfield’s Twist magazine -has once again been shortlisted in two categories at the 2015 Magazine Publishers’ Awards.
Director Mike Firth said: “We’ve come away from the awards night with trophies for the past two years and we would be delighted to make it a hat-trick this year.
“But there has been a 64% increase in the number of entries this time around, so competition is fierce and we’re delighted to have been shortlisted.”
Heron Publications has been selected in both the ‘Best Social Media’ class – partly due to their busy ‘Dronfield Eye’ facebook content – and also for ‘Best General Interest Editorial’, recognising the quality of journalist Deborah Wain’s feature looking at 100th anniversary of the Women’s Institute.
Last year, Heron Publications Ltd was Runner-Up in the ‘Best Magazine Editorial’ category and in 2013 the company was Runner-Up in the ‘Best Magazine Front Covers’ section.
This year’s winners will be announced by the Association of Independent Magazine Publishers on October 2nd.
