Exchanging business tips

It would be remiss of me not to respond to Stephen McDowell’s letter (MW September 4) in which he paid tongue-in-cheek tribute to Exchange & Mart, citing the title as the archetypal advertising-only publication, but implying that our business model is one to which other publishers should not aspire.

Well, this may come as a surprise to Mr McDowell – although not to the 240,000 people who visit our website each month – but Exchange & Mart has been publishing editorial online for a number of years.

Our website contains car buying advice, driving tips and motor sport news, independently compiled by trusted and authoritative partners to ensure our editorial integrity is upheld.

You would not expect anything less from a business that has been “giving users what they want” for 135 years.
