In the last year alone we have launched magazines at the rate of one per month and have no intention of slowing down – we already have more airline wins and magazine launches scheduled for the coming year.”

O’Rourke continued: “It’s been an exciting time for us at Ink. In the last week we opened our Hong Kong office, launched bthere! magazine for Brussels Airlines in Belgium, have been appointed to be the publisher by two more airlines, won the International Company of the Year award and have been listed by the Sunday Times as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the UK. All in all, a great week.”
