Celtic Media Group provides publishing, printing and pre-press (graphic design) services to the Irish newspaper sector. It also has a digital consultancy service.[1]
It is owned by its Irish management team, following a management buy-out led by CEO Frank Mulrennan in 2012. The group was previously owned by Scottish media firm, Dunfermline Press Group. [2]
Celtic Media has expanded since with the acquisition of the Connaught Telegraph in 2014 [3] and its co-ownership of Dublin People Group, publisher of Northside People & Southside People, acquired in 2018.[4]
It employs a total workforce of 110 staff and has invested significantly in its integrated newspaper publishing system, purchased from the Newscycle company.[5]
The group's publishing titles – among them Meath Chronicle; Anglo Celt; Westmeath Examiner – were the subject of an acquisition bid by INM in late 2016 which was approved by the Competition & Consumer Protection Commission and the Department of Communications. [6]
However, both parties opted not to proceed with the acquisition due to the level of undertakings around employment levels required by the regulatory process.[7]
The print company, operated by Celtic in Navan, has been restructured with the loss of 16 jobs and the cessation of its long-standing Trinity Mirror contract. [8]
Two new print contracts have been secured – the Northern Standard newspaper and the Racing Post Weekender title – with the Navan plant now operating on a lower cost base.[9]
