Direct peers

• Yorkshire Life Magazine: A regional lifestyle magazine covering Yorkshire with the same subscription-plus-advertising model, print and digital edition, and curated local content (food, walks, heritage, events). Operates as a structural peer to Country Images' model in a different UK county.
• Sussex Life: County-level lifestyle magazine covering Sussex, offering print and digital subscriptions, local advertising, and curated lifestyle content (dining, heritage, events). Closely mirrors Country Images Magazine's regional lifestyle publishing proposition.

• Lancashire Life: Regional lifestyle magazine covering Lancashire with subscription and advertising revenue, print and digital editions, and editorial categories analogous to Country Images (heritage houses, walks, dining, local personalities).
• Devon Life: Regional lifestyle magazine for Devon featuring local heritage, food, walks, and events. Comparable to Country Images in operating model, content mix, and county-level geographic focus on a UK region with strong tourism appeal.
• Cotswold Life: Long-established regional lifestyle magazine serving the Cotswolds with a similar mix of heritage features, dining, walks, local culture, and a glossy lifestyle format. Directly comparable business model and audience profile to Country Images.

Broad incumbents
