Important announcement: Spec Chem is back!

I am pleased to be able to inform our readers that Speciality Chemicals Magazine has resumed publication as of this week. We are now an operation of in2 Publishing.

We had not published since the April 2020 issue, though I continued to add news and update the website in the interim. Like so many other companies in the field, SCM's then owner TRMG was badly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and had to put almost all of its staff on furlough. Now, with a new owner, we are looking forward to working with you again in the coming years.

In 2021, there will be six issues with a rotating line-up of features in each. The first, the January-February edition, will go out in late January 2021. Full details of the schedule are on this website. As and when industry events resume, we will also resume our distribution arrangements at them.

I am still the editor and can be contacted via Tel: +44 7814 765714 and email: [email protected]. As ever, I am keen to hear from anyone with ideas for features that will interest our readership in the fine and speciality chemicals sectors, be they technical articles, profiles or business- and market-related. 

We also welcome Charlie Wise, who has huge experience in media sales with TRMG, as sales director for the magazine. He can be contacted via Tel: +44 1398 210250, Mobile: +44 7787 565771 and email: [email protected]. Ben Jones remains your contact for ad sales in North America and the wider world on Tel: +1 610-225-2396, Mobile: +1 610 517 0844 and email: [email protected].

As the old saying goes, it's good to be back. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting you at events again one day.
