About us

 

 

TSJ was born through a shared vision between Kick-Start Publishing Ltd and Joe Simpson for a B2B magazine that truly reflected the breadth, scope and ambition of the ceramic tile and dimensional stone industry in the UK and Ireland. From the first issue in July 2004, TSJ established itself as the authoritative voice of the industry, and as the clear market leader in terms of commercial support and circulation: a leadership position it holds to this day.
