Future Publishing, based in Bath, Somerset, UK publishes over 150 special-interest consumer magazines through operations in four countries. Founded in 1985, Future has sold over 500 million magazines in its 20-year history. Today, it has strong portfolios in the computing, games, music, sports, motoring, crafts and leisure sectors.

With a turnover nearing £200 million a year, Future is the UK second largest special-interest magazine publisher and employs more 1,400 people internationally.

As Future continues to grow through acquisition and new launches, most recently acquiring 38 titles from Highbury House Communications plc, the issue of managing its information technology (IT) has become increasingly complex and important. As a result, Future has implemented the Fontwise® solution, a unique font licence management service to help control their font assets.
