Bell Publishing acquires Tea & Coffee journal and exhibition
Bell Publishing, a UK-based publishing house, announced the acquisition of Tea & Coffee Trade Journal from Lockwood Publications. The deal involves not only the trade magazine, but also other assets belonging to the company, including UKERS' Tea & Coffee Global Directory & Buyers' Guide and the annual trade exhibition Tea & Coffee World Cup, which was last held this May in Krakow, Poland. The purchase seems like a good fit with Bell's other publications in the confectionary, dairy, food and packaging sectors, as well as expertise with trade shows. Lockwood Publications will retain ownership of its tobacco-related titles and trade show. The financial details of the deal were not disclosed.
