Informa plc is a multinational publishing and events company with its head office and registered office in London. It has offices in 43 countries and around 6,500 employees. It owns numerous brands including CRC Press, Datamonitor, Institute for International Research, Lloyd's List(London Press Lloyd), Routledge, and Taylor & Francis.
It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index.
Informa's oldest business started in 1734 when Lloyd's List, now one of the world's oldest continuously running journals, began covering London shipping news.
Informa itself was created in 1998 by the merger of IBC Group plc and LLP Group plc. Since then Informa has expanded considerably, including a 2004 merger with the publishing company Taylor & Francis and a 2005 acquisition of IIR Holdings, a human capital development company, for £768 million. In October 2006, the company was approached by Springer Science and Business Media in a takeover bid, but in early November the Informa board rejected the 630p per share offer as too low.
Many people may not know about Informa, our industry or the scope of our business, so we wanted to give potential candidates a feel for what it's like working here; the culture, the diversity and the opportunities!
