As the former MD of Haymarket Network, Patrick played a large part in making the customer publishing industry the leading marketing force it is today. After roles as Publishing Director and Managing Director for many of Haymarket’s consumer and business titles, in 1998 he launched the company’s hugely successful customer publishing division.
Over the next decade, Patrick built it into one of Europe’s largest customer publishers, with key clients such as Manchester United, The British Army and the Football Association. He’s now instrumental in widening the APA offer to both clients and members.
“One of my many aims for the APA is to make it much more proactive in promoting customer publishing,” he says. “And that’s exactly what we’re doing.”

Having worked on both client and supplier side during her illustrious media career, Julia has a unique perspective on the benefits of customer publishing. Before joining the APA in 2004, Julia was marketing and new business director at media agency, Starcom, which led on from publishing roles at Business Age Magazine, Sunday Business Publishing and Associated Newspapers. This experience is invaluable when forming the bridge between client and agency, as Julia is immediately able to understand the requirements and concerns of both sides.
"My ultimate aim at the APA is to make sure both clients and members are happy," she explains, "and we do that by offering a fully joined-up service. We're the specialists in a highly specialised industry."
