The Sheengate Story
“We’re journalistically, as well as commercially, motivated. We want to provide something interesting and relevant to the local community and we’ve been lucky with the quality of our writers – some of our content has to be aspirational, but I think we’ve always managed to ensure there is a deeper element too.
CON CROWLEY, PUBLISHER
Sheengate Publishing was founded in 1998 by Alex Whitney and Con Crowley with the launch of The Richmond Magazine. We are now Surrey, SW London and Berkshire’s largest independent publisher of luxury local lifestyle and property magazines, with 11 titles covering six of the UK’s 10 richest boroughs. In 2018 the company turned twenty, and as part of the celebrations one of our longest serving editors interviewed Con and Alex about the origins of the company.
