‘The Small Publishing Company with Big Ideas’
September 1990
Our Publisher (Our People) first entered the contact centre industry having being appointed Advertisement Director on the then leading ‘call centre’ magazine of its time.
Call Centres, or contact centres as we like to refer to them as, were just starting which was the ideal time to start a magazine and, perhaps more important, to learn about the industry whilst utilising his vast Publishing experience.
During 2015 Perry celebrated having been within the contact centre industry some 25 years – an amazing fact especially as he tells colleagues and clients that he is only 38!
September 2000
Our Publisher (Our People) resigns to launch new magazine ‘contact-centres’ using his experiences of the contact centre industry and being in Publishing since 1986.
He called the company ‘Barney Publishing’ for no other reason that his dog, a Dalmation/Collie Cross, was called Barney!
May 2001
The first contact-centres magazine is published and distributed to 10,000 contact centre management thanks mostly to Sponsorship by Rockwell together with the website contact-centres.com.
June 2003
The Publishing rights to the magazine ‘contact-centres’ were sold with the website still being retained.
This was followed by our Publisher spending 6 Months in Dubai to contemplate his next publishing move whilst on a Beach updating the website on a daily basis.

Having used Dreamweaver as a website design platform we migrated to Wordrpress whilst completing updating our SEO on all 5,000+ pages.
The result? A significant increase in traffic so much so we had to have a upgraded dedicated server!
