'Machinery Movers', the specialist dedicated magazine for the construction, quarry plant and equipment sector, has merged its separate UK and Ireland editions. Feedback received from readers and advertisers had indicated a preference for complete coverage of the UK and Irish markets in one comprehensive publication.

With a combined circulation of 15,000, the new joint 'Machinery Movers UK & Ireland' title will now provide construction & civil engineering contractors, plant hirers, quarries, demolition & recycling companies, as well as local authorities and utilities, with even more of the latest business and industry news, including up to the minute information from the major construction & quarry machinery manufacturers, dealers and distributors.


This move has been particularly welcomed by advertisers, who in today's challenging times are looking for ever more cost-effective ways of reaching key plant & equipment specifiers, buyers, hirers and users.

Publisher, Brian Coogan, said: "Now readers and advertisers only need one publication for coverage across the whole of Britain, together with both Northern and Southern Ireland.

"However, we will still be maintaining a clear editorial focus for the specific individual territories, through UK editor, James Laneand existing Ireland editor, Jim Breen."

"With the increased combined circulation of 15,000, I firmly expect to even further strengthen our leading position in the market. And our readers also still have the chance to win a superb Case CX16B mini excavator. Everyone taking out a new annual subscription for the magazine before the beginning of December 2008 will be entered into a free draw* to win the Case mini excavator", concluded Brian Coogan.

Copies of the first combined UK & Ireland September 2008 edition were distributed at the recent 'Machinery Movers' Equipment Demonstration Day, held at Brookfield, Enfield, County Meath, Ireland.
