Anthony Gibson-Watt, Buying Director ZED media states:
WFI is a "shining example" of an excellent customer publishing magazine! Fundamentally, how many clients do you know that would like to target the Waitrose/John Lewis shopper - mass affluence epitomised. And it transpires that a solid, stable circulation, of just under 316,000 copies will tempt many clients. Not only that but the production and art direction are second to none. WFI is a beautiful title, winning APA & PPA awards. Ultimately John Brown publishing should be proud
