The publishers of Contractors World Magazines are to launch a UK & Ireland edition in January 2011. Based on the same formula and style of the existing digital publications, the new magazine, will initially be published six times a year. The magazine is intended to provide free editorial that is no longer available following the closure of several industry related magazines over the past two years.
