About Us - Colston Media Ltd

The team at Colston Media Ltd are proud to say we thrive within our distribution areas; we have four publications with coverage throughout the UK. Because of this we have a wide reach and strong circulation, so by choosing to advertise within our publications your business is visible not only in your limited area, but by a wider number of people who are highly likely to be interested in your products, services and organisations.

Our publications are successful free digital releases, all of which are sent out fortnightly to our database of loyal subscribers which grows each year. Our publications are also uploaded to our website and can be read free of charge.

Originally our magazines were physical copy, however we made the switch to digital to cut down on potential waste and lessen our negative environmental impact. We now use a market-leading digital publishing platform which allows our readers to access our publications online, and for download at their convenience on phones, tablets and laptops allowing them to have adverts and information on hand for when they may need them. Not only this but our change to digital also helped in vastly widening our readership due to the worlds shift to technology.

Working with Megan from Farming and Country has always been a smooth and efficient process. She is clear in her communication, responsive, and makes collaboration easy. Whether it’s ensuring the right placements or handling last-minute adjustments, Megan is always on top of things. Her professionalism and attention to detail make a real difference, ensuring everything runs seamlessly between the media vehicle and her client. It’s great to work with someone who understands the industry’s fast pace and keeps things moving without unnecessary complications. A pleasure to work with—highly recommend!

Colston Media did a great job. I was delighted with my Ad.

Pain Relief Foundation

Oh, wow that looks fabulous, pass on my thanks to the team.

Storthes Hall Park

Good service, great offers simple process and easy to work with!

Durham County Council

I have dealt with Shane Stevens over recent months regarding the placing of adverts in publications. He has consistently been very polite, helpful and efficient in dealing with my requirements and his standard of service encourages me to continue to place adverts with the Group in future.

APH Advanced Plumbing and Heating

As a customer, I have found you to be enthusiastic about generatin business, reliable and responsive. Also, you maintained your professionalism when faced with an abrupt response from one of my colleagues, all traits which, in my view, are invaluable for your role.

The Thornbury Centre

I always find you very easy to deal with and you appear to be a very good sales person without being pushy! I say this because you have persuaded me to change my mind on a number of occasions (when I have been determined not to take out an ad!) as I don’t think that the Yorkshire Herald particularly targets our niche market. I am also impressed with the way that you follow up and respond to any queries that I have raised (sometimes, once the sale has been made, people aren’t so quick to respond.) So, I really think it is down to you that I continue to advertise in the Yorkshire Herald.

Galloway Antiques Fairs

I have always enjoyed our working relationship, you are always polite, easy to deal with and always provide me with all the relevant information about the different publications.

Bijou Bridal Boutique

Since our working relationship begun, Shane has always been very polite and courteous on the phone. He always calls for payment at the specified time and he is always very prompt at sending through email notifications and draft adverts for approval. One additional attribute is that is I say ‘No’ to a proposal, Shane accepts the answer and doesn’t try to influence me or change my mind, no hard sell which I appreciate very much.

DPH Darlington Limited

On initial contact with Shane, he explained who he was and why he was ringing and went on to give full details of the offer for the advertisement. He did speak to David Cooper who managed to negotiate a reduced rate. Once the details were confirmed and payment was made, the advert was installed on the website efficiently. Shane was pleasant and informative without being too pushy therefore that is why we agreed to place the advert. Overall we’re satisfied with the service.
