IPC SouthBank announces today its proposal to close Family Circle from the December 2006 issue, on sale November 9.
IPC SouthBank managing director Jackie Newcombe says: “Family Circle in its heyday was one of Britain's biggest selling monthlies but sales have been in decline for some time. Despite numerous attempts to reinvigorate the title, the time has come for us to accept the market has moved on. Rather than continue to invest in this title, it is with much regret that we have to conclude that Family Circle's future is untenable.”
IPC Media is currently in consultation with those affected and every effort will be made to find alternative jobs.
