The Platinum Media Group has been the leading voice of business in the South East for many years, specialising in magazine publishing and event management.
The company was formed over 17 years ago to serve the business community of the South East. The region is the economic powerhouse of the UK but was very poorly served by any publication that connected businesses and kept them abreast of all the news, views and opinion.
The Platinum Media Group publish the largest circulation business magazines in the SE including Platinum Business Magazine, Surrey Business Magazine and Dynamic Magazine.
Platinum also own and produce the largest and most professional business award events in the region including the Sussex Business Awards (yr38), Surrey Business Award (yr8), Central South Business Awards (yr8), Dynamic Business Awards (yr6), Lewes Business Awards (yr11) and the Brighton & Hove Business Awards (yr22).

Head of Design
View BioOver 30 years in publishing; more than 20 years of which have been as a designer; the first 10 as a editor, having worked on many B2B titles in the leisure, retail and construction sectors.
