Rob Maylin said, “I am absolutely delighted to be onboard with COMAG – www.comag.co.uk , distribution has always been a mayor concern and taking on Mark Handley as distribution manager will really improve our penetration into the news trade. I have really concentrated on our subscription base and fishing tackle shop stockists in the past and i am very grateful for the huge number of people who have subscribed to Big Carp since day one. Developing our APPS with ‘The Apple Store’ 2 years ago has really been an eye opener to the potential of the magazine and now that its being read on-line in over 40 counties it was time to push the title forward into new avenues previously unexplored, we have promotions planned in W.H.Smiths, Tescos, Asda etc along with improved penetration into the independent newsagents and retailers. all under the expert guidance of Mark Handley who has 20 experience with Comag doing just this, in these difficult times its hard to be optimistic about many things but i am very excited about our new alliance”
