Buy & Sell is an Irish classifieds magazine, launched in 1990, which is published four times a week in the Republic of Ireland (three national editions, one Munster edition) and once a week in Northern Ireland.
The magazine has been owned by a number of non-Irish based businesses, including Loot, a UK based magazine and Associated Newspapers who sold Buy & Sell to the current owners in 2007.[1]
B&S Ltd, the last owner of the Buy & Sell magazine was beneficially owned, by Boundary Capital plc, an Irish venture capital company, who acquired the company from Associated Newspapers for 28 million Euro in 2007.
Buy & Sell went through Examinership[2] and Receivership in late 2009, and the assets of the business were sold to a company representing Nelson Loane, the former head of the publicly quoted Adare printing group, and his family.
The new owners have said they plan to retain the current workforce of 55 with potential for new job creation in the online business. [3]
