Against stiff competition from rival publishers, Excel has been awarded the contract by North and South Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce to deliver its magazine "Focus".

The bi-monthly title is a combined publication for both Staffordshire chambers and the first issue of the re-designed magazine will be published in 2007.

John Cooper, Head of Excel’s Contract Publishing division commented: “Focus magazine has been going for many years and we will work hard with the chambers to restore the publication as the premier business magazine in the County of Staffs.” 

Excel Publishing Company has considerable expertise in delivering marketing products for Chambers of Commerce & Industry across the UK, with this latest contract bringing its portfolio to ten titles. The company's contract publishing division publishes over 40 titles for clients from a range of sectors as diverse as The Royal Institute of British Architects to the Institute of Food Science & Technology.
