Burton media firm celebrates 15th anniversary with major celebration
Burton-based AI Global Media is staging a major celebration to mark its 15th anniversary with a party at the Pirelli Stadium.
Directors Kathryn Hall and Jane Henderson have been at the helm for those 15 years and third director Tony Garner for eight years.
Jane said: “AI Global Media took its name from its first publication Acquisition International in 2010.
“The publication was focused primarily on the M&A market and included thought leadership pieces, deal news and key feature articles on topics impacting those operating within the M&A world.
“The second publication Wealth & Finance International was launched in 2014 and now in 2025 the group boasts 11 brands.
“The team have digitised their offering entirely and ceased circulating printed copies more than 10 years ago. Now it has a full social media suite, website and digital publications for each of the 11 brands.
“We are acknowledging and celebrating 15 years in business with an extra special Christmas party this year at Burton Albion Football Club’s Pirelli Stadium.
“We will celebrate the team members who have been key to our success both in the early days and right through to now. We will be presenting awards on the evening and will congratulate those who have particularly gone above and beyond for the benefit of the business.
“Beyond business, AI Global Media is deeply committed in supporting the local community and key national causes. We have been supporting Burton Soup Kitchen for several years, donating cash and food to support locals in need of a good meal.
“We have taken gifts to Burton Hospital at Christmas for the patients and their families. Six years ago, a group of team members completed the National Three Peak’s Challenge and raised £3,784 for Cancer Research UK.
“Other causes we have supported include Linjoy Wildlife Sanctuary and Rescue - Midlands, Fountains High School in Stretton, Guide Dogs and Children in Need, to name a few.
“We aim to bring opportunities to the younger generations and have provided work experience opportunities to local year 11, 12 and 13 youngsters. We have brought into the business individuals via the Kickstart Scheme which was a Government initiative offered to those aged 16 to 24, currently claiming Universal Credit and at risk for long-term unemployment.
“We have also had great success with bringing apprentices into the business via the National Apprenticeship Scheme.
“We would like to thank the Burton & District Chamber of Commerce in supporting our business over recent years. The membership has assisted us in raising our business profile locally.”
