Smiths News PLC has issued its latest trading update.
The data released by the Swindon-based firm, the UK's largest news wholesaler and a leading provider of early morning end-to-end supply chain solutions, provides a trading update for the 26 weeks ended 1 March.
The Board confirms a solid trading performance across H1 2025 and that the Company remains on track to deliver results for the year ending 30 August 2025 in line with market expectations.
A spokesperson said: "As previously stated, Smiths News has officially secured long-term contracts covering 91% of its newspaper and magazine revenues through to at least 2029, providing a solid foundation to support its medium-term growth ambitions.
"Smiths News continues to maximise its market-leading early-morning, end-to-end supply chain capabilities, and will provide a full update to shareholders at the half-year results in May 2025."
For over 200 years, Smiths News has been delivering newspapers to retailers across the UK. It distributes newspapers and magazines on behalf of the major national and regional publishers, delivering to approximately 22,500 customers across England and Wales on a daily basis.
The speed of turnaround and the density of Smiths News' coverage, the firm says, is critical to one of the world's fastest physical supply chains.
