The publisher
Publications International Ltd was formed by Barry Bebbington in 1985 and has over the years specialised in publishing directories, show guides and business magazines specifically for the Middle East market. Titles include Arab Health magazine, The Dubai Air Show, Gulf Printing & Packaging and Gulf Education show catalogues.
In 2004 we purchased Security Middle East magazine from Channels Exhibitions when it sold the Intersec Exhibition to Messe Frankfurt. In 2007 we launched its sister title Fire Middle East magazine and this year have re-launched our website www.securitymiddleeastmagazine.com with the addition of an online directory of security products suppliers and distributors.
The editor
Security Middle East's magazine's editor is Claire Mahoney. With over 15 years experience at a business journalist, Claire has been behind the launch of a number of international business magazines, including Arab Health and Hospital Equipment and Supplies International. She has written for magazines across many sectors including beauty, publishing, technology and health.
She has been editor of Security Middle East since it was purchased by Publications International and oversaw the re-design of the title five years ago. She is now director of her own editorial, marketing and communications company, Dovetail Communications Ltd.
