Resolution ’ s full-time team and their growing pool of experienced freelance writers and photographers .
since its inception .
Meanwhile , former Gazette and Trinity Mirror ( now Reach ) managing director Bob Cuffe – brought in as non-executive director four years ago – continues to be a high-profile driving force .
“ My role is to support – and challenge – Martin and Dave on the long-term strategy and how we achieve it ,” says Bob .
“ They were superb through the pandemic : pivoting the business from print to digital , and firmly establishing themselves as the Voice of Business on Teesside .
“ They ’ re respected by the Teesside business community and are now multi-media publishers with exciting growth plans .”
Proud of the team they ’ ve built , Dave and Martin have a fundamental belief that quality journalism is at the heart of the business .
“ Print isn ’ t dead ,” says Dave . “ There ’ s still a huge appetite for it , but it has to be built around professional , engaging content that people want to read .”
The evidence is there for all to see . When Tees Business was first published seven years ago , it had 36 pages . Their record issue this year had 180 pages , and a glance over the back cover – a who ’ s who of Teesside businesses – shows the depth of the partnerships in place , including Teesside University , PD Ports , Middlesbrough College , Cleveland Cable Company , AV Dawson and Tees Valley Combined Authority .
So , what does 2023 have in store for Resolution Media and Publishing ? Tees Business will , of course , remain as the core product . Love Middlesbrough will continue to be delivered to 67,000 homes , and talks are planned with other local authorities about their magazines .
They ’ ll also build on the relaunch of their national publication , This Is Tees Valley – the second issue was launched with fan fair at Teesside Airport in June , headlined by Tees Valley mayor Ben Houchen – while the Tees Business Awards and Wear Businesswomen Awards will debut in 2023 .
“ We are also working on really exciting plans for new events , and we ’ re developing an idea for another niche magazine , which we ’ re confident is going to be a huge success ,” says Martin .
“ And all this while Aycliffe Business celebrates its 10th anniversary – something which I ’ m hugely proud of .”
Covid-19 has shown , unforgettably , how unpredictable life is . But , in business , it has also demonstrated the importance of teamwork , adaptability … and a strong Resolution .
