OUR MEDIA PARTNERS I am great fan of MWB magazine, it seems there is a huge lack of industry fashion magazines that actually matter. MWB is great read and covers all relevant topics and up to date on the latest trends. A joy of a team to be acquainted with. Ravi Grewal, Director Stuarts London Over the eight years that I have worked directly with MWB each team member, from editorial to commercial, has displayed a confidence-inspiring level of passion and dedication to the British menswear industry. Underpinned by a robust brand knowledge, comprehensive industry network and insatiable product-led interest it s no wonder that the MWB team and brand continues to exceed my expectations around every turn. Khabi Mirza, Director Fabric PR Since I joined Merc 6 years ago, it is hard to think of a time when my monthly copy of MWB was not so coveted. The very small yet tightly knit team behind MWB are unbelievably passionate and totally dedicated to the excellent product they produce. On a personal side, I regard them as close friends as they all have the knack of making you, your brand, your event, whatever you are involved with feel very special and unique. It is a rare quality in this fast evolving technology loving business we all find ourselves in today and I like that. Andrew Tompsett, Head of UK Merc
