What Our People Say
Lisa White - Production Manager
Having headed up the production department for the past ten years, I have come up with two certainties in my life at Unity Media.
One. My work is never dull, whether scrambling to meet tight printing deadlines or liaising with advertising clients at the 11th hour.
And two. No matter how hectic the work gets, the people surrounding me are supportive and friendly enough to pull me through.
Claire Brown - Assistant Finance Manager
I've worked at Unity for eleven years. Do I enjoy my job? I think the opening sentence speaks for itself!
I joined the accounts department in 1996 and worked as the Credit Controller for two years, I was then given the opportunity to try my hand at something new and I became the Sales Ledger Assistant dealing with the invoicing for the advertisements within our range of publications.
I am now Assistant Finance Manager and have stretched myself to running the Sales and Purchase Ledgers and helping the Finance Manager to prepare the basics for the monthly Management Accounts.
I enjoy the diversity and challenge of my role and am grateful for the support I have received and skills I have acquired since I started.
Helen Rush - Advertising Manager Purely Porsche
This is the second time round for me at Unity Media. I first worked for the company in 1991 as the company secretary, when there were just eight of us! I quickly progressed as did the company and took on roles in production and sales, and was given the chance as Advertising Manager on Performance Ford magazine. After six years with Unity I took a break and travelled overseas, returning in 2003 to take on a brand new magazine that Unity had launched – GT Purely Porsche. I couldn’t believe how quickly Unity had developed, the motoring division alone had eight fantastic magazines. My magazine team are great, and with three years hard work GT Purely Porsche has gone from strength to strength.
I thoroughly enjoy my job…Unity Media is a fun place to work!
Ian Denby-Jones - Art Editor
Working across all nine consumer magazines and keeping other projects in-house there is never a dull moment here at Unity.
The design department is highly creative and along with motivating each other we create up to the moment layouts with the aid of the latest software packages.
Although the work is demanding it never stops being fun which is the whole ethos of Unity Media.
