Big Furniture Group, the leading trade publication in the furnishing industry, has been recognised with the ABC ‘stamp of trust’ after completing its first audit.
The audit, conducted by ABC, an independent industry-owned auditor, focussed on Big Furniture Group’s printed magazine, highlighting print circulation of over 4,600 copies on average per issue within the Furnishings and Woodworking market sector.
The certification cements Big Furniture Group as a leading publication in the furnishing industry trade press with the audit transparently declaring its print circulation.
Dan Squires, Managing Editor of Big Furniture Group, said: “It’s a fantastic milestone for Big Furniture Group, and for the industry. We often hear how well-read our magazine is across the trade and this audit demonstrates how strong our circulation is.
“We’re excited to mark 2026 with our certification, something we have been working toward for quite some time. I’m delighted on the achievement, which provides further confidence in our circulation and title, as well as to all our clients and future prospects.”
David Hewitt, Group CEO, said: “From the outset, we had absolutely no doubt that with Dan Squires’ attention to detail and relentless focus on accuracy, we would come through this process strongly. While the audit confirmed what we already knew about our circulation, that does not make this achievement any less significant.
“To be an audited publication in our sector sets a new benchmark for the industry, and we are incredibly proud of the team and grateful to our clients and readers who continue to support our journey.”
Commenting on the successful audit, Jan Pitt, Commercial Director at ABC added: “Congratulations to Big Furniture Group on the successful completion of their first audit. ABC certification places your brand on the map for media buyers, setting you apart from unaudited competitors and giving you a valuable commercial edge.
“Our logo is instantly recognisable in the industry as a ‘stamp of trust’. It’s a clear sign that you’re committed to transparent trading processes and that your advertisers can trust in the media you offer.”
