Staff at DC Thomson facing redundancies as titles close
- Published 8 February 2023
Staff at Dundee-based publisher DC Thomson are facing redundancies as the company prepares to close titles.
Employees were told at an all-staff meeting on Wednesday that the company needed to plug a £10m gap amid moves to "reshape" its portfolio.
DC Thomson owns a number of newspapers including The Press and Journal, The Courier and The Sunday Post.
It also owns dozens of magazine titles such as The People's Friend, The Beano, and Puzzler.
DC Thomson has offices across Scotland, including in Dundee, Aberdeen and Glasgow, alongside operations in Colchester and London.
'Losing valued colleagues'
Rebecca Miskin, chief executive of DC Thomson's media business, said "significant changes" were being announced.
"We will be announcing the closure of some well-loved titles, as well as the cessation of some commercial activities," she said.
"This will mean losing some valued colleagues, something we deeply regret.
"These moves are vital to set us up to thrive in the future and to respond to the difficult economic environment we are in.
"Until discussions have taken place with colleagues, we aren't able to comment on the number of people or the titles which will be impacted."

Aberdeen P&J - Local News ???
I really struggle with Aberdeen Press and Journal domination of local news. You are led by Google to online site, then asks for a subscription, even for the most basic of public service news. Is it that difficult to give any information away for free. Come on at least provide some shared minimal content if you support developing the local community, e.g. like public events and what is going on for people in the City and Shire. No wonder Aberdeen is so boring and non - eventful with this type of closed shop mentality.

I bought my mum a subscription to people’s friend on a Black Friday deal, she’s had her conformation letter but she’s still waiting for her magazine to be delivered......my mother is elderly and we live in the far north east of Scotland, as I’m sure people can appreciate it’s hard for elderly people to get to the shops when it’s winter.......I’m VERY disappointed in this company, they’ve quite happily taken my money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unacceptable customer service
If I could cancel my Beano subscription with immediate effect I would definitely do so. My grandchildren love the comic but 3 out of 4 of the most recent issues have failed to reach them. I have contacted the helpline numerous times over a 10 day period but every agent just tries to fob me off, insisting that I need to "give it a few more days". Totally unwilling to investigate or to provide me with the info needed to investigate myself. Also unwilling to provide details of a named individual responsible for dealing with complaints.

Avoid this waste of time company
Don’t bother with this company. Signed up for subscription offer in July, they took the direct debit details wrongly (apparently) when I signed up online (I checked these and I was adamant they were correct. Two further letters and two phone calls to them followed when they wrote to say direct debit details were still wrong. Then received a confirmation letter followed by a letter saying the date the subscription will be taken is changing and now a call to say the details are on the wrong account…. I STILL HAVENT RECEIVED THE MAGAZINE!!!!! Avoid! And now they have just cancelled my subscription

Refund problem for publication that has ceased
The magazine I subscribed to as a Christmas present for my granddaughter ceased publication in March. They sent an email in April saying they would refund the remaining subscription in 28 days. I've phoned and emailed since to no avail. I have today received another email saying I will be refunded in 28 working days. Digital refunds take hours not weeks. I don't hold out much hope of ever getting my money back and my granddaughter hasn't had her magazines.

Very disappointed with the customer service at this organisation. My mother subscribed to receive monthly pocket novels, but unfortunately the most recent delivery was damaged in the post & only 1 of the 2 books were in the damaged envelope! Neither of us were able to get through to the company via telephone, so I sent an email over 2 weeks ago & no response. Looking at the reviews of this company I don’t think we’ll be renewing the subscription.

Ordered a magazine subscription
Ordered a magazine subscription, took a few months to actually start sending me the publication. As part of the subscription offer, I was offered a beauty box if I paid a higher price. I never received it. When I complained, they said it was out of stock. They did offer to reduce the subscription price to compensate but as the magazine content was pretty rubbish anyway, I chose to cancel. It took them a week to finally respond to confirm cancellation. Just pretty poor all round.

Love the mags
I keep buying more subscriptions, as I love their products so much. I called this morning as I had received the wrong magazines just before Christmas, and spoke to Thomas. Absolutely charming and helpful, and promised to send out replacements immediately.
Date of experience : 13 January 2022
Go elsewhere
If you need to buy a subscription through this company I would recommend looking elsewhere. Took a 6 month payment which I bought as a gift when the title had already been sold to another publisher who they haven’t given any valid contact details for. Now paid for a 6 month subscription that hasn’t been received and they seem to have washed their hands of (despite me paying them) - absolute con.

After years go f recieving my magazine with no problems in the last month I have had to make 2 phone calls to them as my magazines haven't been delivered..Today they informed me my subscription is suspended because magazines have been returned as not known at this address..They assure me they have phoned and e-mailed me but there is no record of either..So at this moment I am considering canceling my suspended conscription..Sad.

Only given 1 star to enable review
Only given 1 star to enable review. None existent customer service. Ordered a magazine subscription as a birthday present in early Feb 2021. No magazine has been delivered as yet, starting to think its a scam. Keep emailing the customer service but never get a reply. Very disappointed especially as it was met to be a birthday gift
Date of experience : 13 April 2021
I strongly suggest you do not deal with this company.
One star is the lowest I can give but far too generous. This company accepts an order for a product it does not have, fails to respond to emails when it has not delivered in 6 weeks, and barely answers the phone. When you do get through and agree a refund, it does not actually do that either. It is very effective at taking your money and then dishonestly keeping it. I would strongly suggest you find an alternative supplier.

Worst subscription ever purchased
Purchased a subscription for a weekly magazine with the promise we would get it earlier than purchasing it from a shop. 90% of the time the magazine never arrived it was between 10-14 days after the release date it arrived. Would ring up every time an issue was missing. The last time I rang the customer service was terrible he claimed it was not the Company's fault it was the post office, just kept repeating this like a robot. Cannot wait for the subscription to run out so I can purchase from a reliable source

after a distressing situation
after a distressing situation, no help from DC Thompson. They acknowledged that their payment system was "playing up" and I confirmed with my bank that there was two successful payments. but their payment system kept "reverse declining payment". The TSB said that my card paid it twice and it was refunded on a reverse decline from DC Thompson. DC Thompson refuses to accept this. poor poor company not even to say sorry, all they said was to ask if I had another form of payment, I said no because they dont even accept American Express
Date of experience : 02 March 2022
Would give 0 stars if allowed
Would give 0 stars if allowed, absolutely shoddy service. Would have to ring every week or 2 since subscription started due to missing beanos for my 8 year old son, email is a joke take a week to reply to you, give you the same excuses, have now cancelled and seeking a different companies magazine for my son.

POOR SERVICE
000692876 Order placed 17th November, wrong item sent and returned with their own free return system. STILL not received the item ordered and numerous emails sent. Unreliable Company with no regard for customer service, don’t bother wasting your time with this company.

Wrong Order, no reply!
Recieved the wrong order and chased twice before a reply was received. It was too late as the gift was a christmas present . No meaningful apology given or offer to make any gesture. I see the other bad reviews and just wish I had known before I ordered, wont make that mistake again!
Date of experience : 05 January 2022
AVOID - took money and sent nothing
They took my subscription payment in March and I have received nothing. I should have received 2 issues by now. They have also said I will not get the free gift I was entitled to through the link I used. I have been emailing for 3 weeks asking for my money back and not one email has been responded to. Shocking customer service.
