Herefordshire & Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce are delighted to announce their new partnership with Crosby Media Associates.
The Chamber and Crosby Media will collaborate closely to ensure a seamless transition toward the end of 2025, with October/November and December/January editions scheduled for release. Beginning in 2026, the publication will shift from a bi-monthly to a quarterly format, featuring a refreshed design and increased content, meaning the magazine will have a longer shelf-life. As well as the physical publication sent to all Members and distributed widely in the two counties, the magazine will also be accessible through the Business Direction online platform, where readers can view content and explore advertising opportunities.
Business Direction will continue to showcase the region’s leading business stories, provide updates on the latest Chamber news, celebrate Member achievements, and highlight key Chamber events. It will also explore broader national and international developments that impact businesses across the region.
Crosby Associates Media brings extensive experience in producing high-quality publications for Chambers of Commerce across the UK and is excited to bring that expertise to the relaunch of Business Direction Magazine.
Nick Fellows, Managing Director of Crosby Associates Media, stated: ‘We are thrilled to be partnering with Herefordshire & Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce and its wider membership on the revitalisation of Business Direction Magazine. This quarterly publication will deliver quality news, engaging features, and valuable economic insights to the broader business community across the two counties.”
Sharon Smith, Chief Executive of Herefordshire & Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce, added: “We’re excited to be partnering with Crosby Associates Media, whose proven expertise in publishing for Chambers of Commerce nationwide brings a wealth of knowledge and creativity to this collaboration.
“With a current readership of over 10,500 per edition, Business Direction Magazine has established itself as a key platform within the regional business landscape. One of our key objectives with this relaunch is to expand our reach—providing readers with deeper insights while offering our Members enhanced opportunities to promote their organisations to a broader audience. We are committed to delivering a high-quality publication that captures the strength, innovation, and diversity of our regional business community.”
