AP TO UTP
SIR: I refer to the article by Peter Blundell Jones in your excellent March issue.
I would like to make clear that the Hastings and Regan families did not sell the Architectural Press to Maxwell in 1987. We sold it to United Trade Press. It was they who unfortunately sold it later to Maxwell Communications.
In the mid-’80s the families found the business no longer tenable and with great sadness were forced to sell. It was not because they ‘lost interest’.
I would like to congratulate Peter Davey on his long and successful tenure of the editorship of The Architectural Review and wish him well for the future.
Yours etc
