About McMillan-Scott Ltd

McMillan-Scott Ltd one of the leading B2B publishers in the UK was recently purchased by Ten Alps PLC. Operating from London, Manchester and our Headquarters in Macclesfield, we offer a range of services including self-funded and contract publishing, advertising sales, web development and event management via McMS Events, based in Manchester. 

Publishing over 450 print titles annually, ranging from business directories, guides, magazines and periodicals we also produce leading-edge web development. Additionally, our Event Management team ‘McMS Events’ draws on our experience and provide conferences and events across all our markets, ensuring all aspects of clients communication strategy can be serviced.

Contract Publishers

We believe each of our clients is unique and we always begin with a fresh approach. So often, the simple fact that each organisation is different is completely overlooked.

At McMillan-Scott we use our knowledge and expertise to ensure that your publications meet your needs and reflect and promote your organisation’s personality, aspirations and goals and we use our size and experience to ensure that the work is done effectively and efficiently.

With McMillan-Scott, contract publishing is all about choice. Depending on your needs we can provide a full service package, from sourcing editorial, designing the look and selling advertising space through to print and distribution.

Equally we can provide maybe just one or two services. At the end of the day, we work with you to decide what we can do together to make your publication an effective and cost effective medium for your members, customers and organisation.

Internet Services

Unlike many Internet companies, McMillan-Scott Internet Services (and our trading company MASmedia Ltd) was established in response to the needs of existing clients. A significant number of our publishing clients were expressing a desire to have their printed publications complemented by a web presence.

To satisfy this demand we have created a number of solutions which use some of the most advanced techniques, married with administration systems which allow even the most casual user to create and update content from any location - meaning our clients websites are dynamic, up to date and relevant.

In recent months we have created sites that include extensive searchable databases, member-only areas and online journals. Being part of McMillan-Scott means that whatever your requirements, we can fulfil them in way a way that fits your budget as well as your needs.
