Time Inc. UK has entered into consultation with staff on the proposal to consolidate its road cycling magazine portfolio away from its monthly print brands to instead focus on developing weekly print title Cycling Weekly, digital channel CyclingWeekly.co.uk, events business UK Cycling Events and more opportunities in video. In August the cycling portfolio relocates from Croydon to join the rest of Time Inc. UK's specialist brands based in Farnborough, where it will have new photographic and video facilities and also a state-of-the-art test workshop.
Steve Prentice, managing director, cycling, comments: "We are 100% committed to cycling and continue to see a huge opportunity for growth in this fast-paced 24/7 sector. However, we have decided to focus our resources on where we are seeing most demand from consumers and the most exciting growth opportunities. We will be sad to say goodbye to Cycling Active and Cycle Sport, but this decision will allow us to play to our strengths and focus on what our consumers really want.
