History

Components In Electronics was first launched in 1984. Initially an advertising only publication its publisher, Hannover Press, decided two years later to create a new vehicle with full editorial content. The team at that time included Tony Worton (publisher) a veteran of electronics titles, including New Electronics, Alan Fredericks and Sean Stewart (both sales). The title was re-launched in October 1986, with Nick Foot as Editor. One year later, the success of the magazine led to another permanent editor being employed and the same editorial team carried the magazine through to January 1998.

CIE was originally printed on a King Size paper format the shape of a vinyl LP record. This meant that every page could include a combination of both editorial and advertising. Another differentiating factor was its content: the magazine focused entirely on electronic components, rather than production or test and measurement issues. In style, the editorial content was a mix of technical articles, case studies and new product information.

By the mid 90s the circulation stood at around 20,000 copies, distributed to designers and specifiers. A spin-off, annual Distsribution Directory was published around this time focusing on UK distribution.

In 1998, Jenny Ross, who had worked in a number of important production roles since the launch of the title, assumed the role of Publisher. Following on from Ross, Shan Millie became Publisher in February 2004 staying until December 2005. Alex McLachlan succeeded Millie taking over the role in December 2005 and remains the current Publisher.

Around 2000 Paul Marsh became Editor followed in the early 2000s by Dulcie Elliot, with deputies Rebecca Poole and then Sally Ward-Foxton. Satbinder Dhillon joined the CIE sales team as sales manager in 2000 later receiving a promotion to Head of Sales in 2007. Dhillon is now assisted by Advertising Sales Executive Tom Curtiss, who joined in mid 2007.

Late 2006 saw a redesign of the print magazine. The King Size format was replaced by a the American A4 size.

In September 2007 Neil Tyler took over as Editor, joined shortly after by Michelle Winny as Features Editor.

CIE is a Newsquest Specialist Media publication which is part of Newsquest Media Group, the UK's second largest publisher of regional and local newspapers and a wholly owned subsidiary of Gannett Corporation - the largest newspaper publisher in the United States.
