Harpers sold to William Reed
William Reed Business Media has acquired the trade magazine Harpers from Nexus Media and is considering whether to merge the title with its own title, Wine and Spirit.
William Reed also publish The Grocer, Off-Licence News and Restaurant and they own the International Wine Challenge which they currently run in association with the Wine & Spirit Magazine. It will be interesting to see how the new ownership will affect the International Wine and Spirit Competition which is owned by Nexus Media and sponsored by Harpers.
