John Brown Publishing is a British magazine publisher now known simply as John Brown. Between 1985 and 2000 it operated in both the consumer and contract publishing markets, with a stable including Viz and Fortean Times on the consumer side, and customer titles including Virgin Atlantic's Hot Air magazine and IKEA's Room magazine. In 2000, the company sold its consumer titles and subsequently merged with Citrus Publishing to form John Brown Citrus Publishing, by 2005 the UK's largest customer publishing house. Founder John Brown sold the company to its management team lead by CEO Andrew Hirsch in 2004, and the company was rebranded as John Brown in the summer of 2006.
