The team

Meet the publishing experts

Behind Adept is a small team of publishing and technology specialists. Between us we've worked at CDS Global, WDIS, Optima, Wilmington, VNU and more, on titles you'll know. You'll deal with these people directly.

And the people you don't see

Our in-house development team, here in the UK, builds and supports Avio and Adeptis. Most of them are publishing experts as well as developers, which is a big part of why we can turn changes round in days.

When we joined Adept, the team worked hard to transfer all our data, making sure a smooth transition took place. What is also good is that they are forthcoming with new ideas to help our business grow. That's really important in B2B media, and appreciated.
