U.K. business-press, pro-business and politically non-partisan

Owned byHaymarket Media Group, a privately held U.K. publisher founded by Michael (Lord) Heseltine and Ronald Roy. Haymarket was created in the 1960s to publish this magazine. Search results I could find listed Haymarket as the current owner, but I could not confirm that against a recent primary source.

FundingMainly advertising and sponsorship, plus print and digital subscriptions and paid events and awards programs (such as its business awards and rankings). It has no state funding.

On the administrationmostly neutral

Background

Management Today was founded in 1966 and helped launch Haymarket Press in 1965, the company Michael Heseltine built into a large privately held publisher. Haymarket became Haymarket Media Group in 2007 and has since sold several titles, such as Stuff and FourFourTwo in 2018. Management Today stayed in the Haymarket stable in the sources I found. The magazine is known for profiles of company leaders, management advice, and features such as its Britain's Most Admired Companies ranking and its awards. Its outlook is that of mainstream, market-friendly business journalism, with no formal party affiliation. It has generally been a trade and professional publication, and I found no major editorial controversies. Coverage of U.S. politics is occasional and tied to business effects. Because my search tools were limited, I could not check recent ownership changes or the details of its current editorial posture, so those points should be read with caution.
