Geoff Love, Managing Director of Octane Media, comments: ‘We are looking forward to joining the motoring portfolio of Dennis Publishing. We have long considered Dennis as a natural home for the title, and were delighted by their approach. This acquisition will allow the editorial team to continue to focus on delivering the high-quality content for which the magazine has become world renowned.
