Distributed by Royal Mail, Business Times is posted to more than 10,000 business owners, directors, senior managers, and key decision makers across Northamptonshire every month.

Business Times was founded in 1991 and quickly established itself as the most respected business publication in Northamptonshire.

When the original founder was looking to retire in 2020, Pulse Group Media saw an opportunity to bring the newspaper into its portfolio of titles which include Business MK newspaper and NN/MK Pulse Magazines offering both B2C and B2B publications to its audience.

Whilst remaining faithful to the format, familiar features, and a passion for capturing positive local business stories, a new look Business Times was launched in January 2021. This move was well received by readers and advertisers alike and the newspaper continues to grow, attracting new subscribers and advertisers every month.
