Front publisher Maxwell swaps Cabal for Future

LONDON - Simon Maxwell, the publisher of Cabal Communication's lads mag Front, has left the company and is to join Future Publishing as publisher of its entertainment titles Total Film, T3 and Home Entertainment.

Maxwell will be based at Future's London offices and report to group publisher Jim Douglas, who joined last month to head up the London division.

Maxwell began his career in publishing in 1997 when he joined IPC Media as senior circulation executive, where he was responsible for the distribution of its women's and TV weekly magazines.

After a year at IPC, Maxwell joined Cabal as circulation manager for Front, Real Homes, Good Health, Maximum Mountain Bike and Channel 4 Tour de France magazine. He was appointed publisher of Front in September 2000 and he joins Future on March 10.

Robert Price, publishing director of the entertainment division at Future, said: "With Simon on board, we now have an extremely strong team of publishers in place to take our magazines forward. Building on the success of our existing titles and growing our portfolio with various new launches such as that of mainstream music magazine Bang, we look forward to a solid year with a number of exciting developments."
