Acquisition of JPI Media edit

On 31 December 2020, it was announced that JPIMedia Publishing Ltd (formerly Johnston Press[10]) and its subsidiaries were being sold to National World PLC on 2 January 2021. The new company was set up by the media executive David Montgomery.[11][12] On 29 April 2022, JPIMedia Publishing Ltd rebranded to National World Publishing Ltd, otherwise known as National World.[5]

Acquisition of Midland News Association edit

In September 2023, it was announced that the Graham family-owned Claverley Group had sold its subsidiary Midland News Association to National World PLC. The £11m sale included the regional daily newspapers Shropshire Star and Express & Star, and a number of weekly titles, along with Press Computer Systems, which supplies publishing platforms for both MNA and other major publishers including Newsquest and DC Thomson. The sale marked Claverley Group's exit from regional newspaper publishing.[13]

In March 2021, nationalworld.com was launched as a national news website with an editorial team across the UK.[15] This was followed by the launch of city websites in Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, Glasgow, London,[16] Birmingham and Bristol.[14] Further sites were launched for Northern Ireland, Sussex, Lincolnshire and Warwickshire.[17]

Subsequent launches were made in 2023 into Nottingham[18] and Derby,[19] and further national sites were launched, peopleworld.co.uk[20] and 3addedminutes.com.[21] National World also acquired the assets of football website publisher Scoopdragon and video content aggregator Newschain,[22] and news titles such as Newry Reporter,[23] Farm Week[24] and Banbridge Chronicle.[25]
