About Us
The magazine
NZ Hardware Journal is New Zealand's leading information source for hardware, builder's supply and home décor retailers.
Published monthly, this information-rich magazine is acknowledged by retailers to be the most reliable source of industry information, essential to keep them up to date with their industry.
NZ Hardware Journal is the communication medium between the industry's product and service suppliers and their retail base. It has been the 'industry bible' for over 25 years and continues to increase its areas of service to retailers including the much applauded annual Hardware Industry Awards.
The specialist publishing team is knowledgeable, experienced and dedicated to the industry and strives to keep abreast of the hardware industry's evolvement both within New Zealand and internationally.
The publishers
Marketplace Media is the 'phoenix' of Marketplace Press/3media Group and owned by a dedicated team of professionals who have been working with the company's retail titles for the past 18 years.
The aim of the company's management is to develop evolving communication within the three industries it now serves with highly successful magazine titles – NZ Hardware Journal, Wares and NZ Outdoor Power Equipment. It also manages two annual industry award programmes - Wares Awards and Hardware Industry Awards.
Brother and sister Andrea and Simon Little acknowledge that publishing of retail titles must evolve and develop within the total sphere of communication. The company is successful with 'on page' and 'on stage' and is quickly developing the third phase of its development 'on line / on screen'.
