CWU has used Century One publishing in recent years for publishing and advertising. Advertising revenue has gone up and we get an honest and transparent approach without empty promises or unachievable targets. It is in publishing though, that they really shine. They have helped us re-vamp our magazines, grow readership and membership engagement and professionalised our overall approach to publications. We receive a personal and intimate service that ensures we get what we want, problems are resolved with minimum fuss and a there is a collective approach to improving our product. Century One have a unique approach where they propose cost savings to us and deliver ideas and imagination whilst saving us money.

In the five years that USDAW has been working with Century One Publishing we have won best trade union magazine award twice and come second once on the three occasions the competition rules allowed us to enter. Century One, led by Nick, is an outstanding team and we look forward to further developing our communications in the future to keep USDAW at the cutting edge.

Century One provide a ‘one-stop-shop’ package for magazine publishers encompassing design, advertising sales, production and distribution. This not only simplifies management and administration; it provides access to a design team that is not only resourceful, efficient and always on time, but full of creative enthusiasm and flair. Readers were not unhappy with the magazine before, but as one wrote recently: “What’s happened to Geoscientist? Suddenly it’s terrific!”

The two great things about Century One are that they’re flexible and proactive. They can cope with last-minute changes to schedules, artwork or other customer demands. And if a problem arises they don’t just moan about it, they turn it around to the customer’s advantage. What’s more, they’re enthusiastic and positive in everything they do – a pleasure to work with.

Charlie Harvey, Head of Media and Communications, Prospect

Century One are an excellent, professional and personable group of people. The redesign of TAXI magazine was implemented with great success, the magazine produced to very high standards and always distributed on time. We could hardly ask for anything more.
