History
The firm began in 1962, when its founder, Joseph K. Douglas, created the "Cancer & Polio Research Fund News Letter," to provide updates on the fundraising activities of the related charity.[1] By 1986 the newsletter had evolved into Candis magazine.The company changed its name to Newhall Publishing in 2014 in what was described as a "rebranding" consistent with the company's focus on the "multi-media content marketing industry".[3]
Candis Magazine
The magazine targets a family customer base and emphasises family life as "the cornerstone of a healthy community".[4] It is a monthly magazine and subscribers club, with a focus on health articles, competitions, and arranging discounts for members on a range of services. In 2008 Candis launched an annual award for "Outstanding Family of the Year". There are currently in excess of 236,000 copies sold each month making it the UK’s biggest selling subscription magazine.
Candis Club
Candis Club is a service for subscribers to the magazine, that arranges savings on goods and services, as well as organising social events. Products offered include: travel, car and home insurance, will planning, breakdown and health cover.[2] Part of the Club’s remit is to make donations to health charities, and has donated through 2011 over £53 million to both major national health charities and local charities, schools and community projects.
Core Contact
Core Contact provides services to business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) clients in telemarketing, data and subscription management.[2] Newhall’s telemarketing division was formed in 2001 to provide Candis magazine with a telemarketing service. However, the company subsequently expanded by forming Core Contact to provide services to an external client base.[2]
