Established to look after you, your magazine, your advertisers and your readers…

In a short amount of time we have already proved to hit a mark with Independent Publishers and small publishing houses providing skilled and experienced services.

Dean Cook (MD) has worked extensively with publishing companies on magazine titles, production, printing companies and a wide variety of printed matter since 1990. He has worked closely with Suzuki GB, Suzuki MotoGP team, Virgin Atlantic, Xerox and American Express as well as a host of independent and publishing companies with the most recent client being United Business Media.

In November 2003 he established Dean Cook Productions with the aim of providing a focused design, production and print solution for independent publishers whilst taking into account the tight budgets which is prevalent with Independent Publishers of today. The continued growth over the last few years now sees The Magazine Production Company. Now popular with independent publishers, the business is growing and so too is the team.

Stephanie Biddle has a degree in Media Communications and 15 years experience in design, print, project management, writing and training. Stephanie joins us to look after the US arm of the company.

Grant Lucas has over 20 years experience in the print and publishing world, as well as design agencies and national newspapers. He has worked with NatWest, Mercedes-Benz, Belron International and Chelsea Building Society. His design skills were recognised by an award nomination in 2007 and he is the Creative Consultant to a charity for the arts.

We have an economical solution for publishers who cannot justify employing a full-time designer, production personnel or who have found it difficult to find to locate good experienced freelance designers with key commercial printing skills.

Having a hands-on approach in all areas of design and production allows us to streamline the services to a very efficient level. This is reflected in the highly competitive page rate our business offers.
