Home About N&S Group Companies Philanthropy Contact Us About N&S Richard Desmond founded Northern & Shell in 1974 as the publisher of the music magazine International Musician and Recording World. Vision, determination and attention to detail helped the fledgling business extend beyond a music magazine heritage into the leisure and specialist magazine markets. By the late seventies, the group had developed a worldwide presence. In the coming decades, after acquiring and launching prominent national newspapers and celebrity magazines – including the Daily Express, Sunday Express, Daily Star, and OK! magazine – the group went on to add leading television broadcaster Channel 5 to its media portfolio. In October 2011, Northern & Shell launched The Health Lottery as one of Britain's most innovative philanthropic ventures in recent years. The group further diversified its operations in 2014 by launching Northern & Shell Ventures, a venture capital investment arm that has supported dynamic start-ups: Cheeky Panda , ffs Beauty and The Craft Store (Hochanda) . Previously, Northern & Shell Ventures has successfully invested in and exited the well known property brand Open Rent. With the sale of Channel 5 to Viacom in 2014 and its print publications to Trinity Mirror plc (since renamed Reach plc) in 2018, and with the creation of the iconic Westferry Printworks property development project, Northern & Shell completed its transition from the media business to carve out a space for itself along new frontiers at the forefront of British industry. 1974 Founded 47+ years Experience £150m + Raised for Projects & Charities including through The Health Lottery The Northern & Shell Building Headquartered in a landmark office building with an iconic blue glazed elevation on the north side of the River Thames.
