WELCOME TO THE UK’S MOST POPULAR
                                          AND INFORMATIVE ROOFING, CLADDING
                                          & INSULATION MAGAZINE
RCI magazine launched in 1980 and for nearly 40 years has served the roofing, cladding and
insulation sector, delivering the information and insight its professionals need.

However, a brand like RCI does not retain its leading position by staying still. It does it by listening to
its readers, understanding its markets and shaping its content accordingly. RCI surveyed its readers
to ensure it is delivering what the industry needs. The results were conclusive and can be found in this
media pack, but some of the highlights are:

■ 100% of RCI readers say the magazine is relevant to their job
■ 84% hold on to their copy
■ 87% have made a purchasing decision based on what they have read or seen in RCI

This level of engagement is achieved by editorial excellence, coupled with relentless research to
ensure our output is reaching the right people - a fact backed up by the magazine’s ABC audit. These
numbers are heartening, of course, but RCI is not resting on its laurels. This evolution is reflected in
the magazine’s new design, various reader initiatives, and our successful Pitched Roofing Awards now
celebrating its second year, and the recent launch of the Facade Awards UK in May.

This makes RCI the ideal platform to for all your marketing requirements.

                                                NOTE: If using animated GIF’s remember to ensure the first frame of the animation contains all the main information that is
                                                wanting to be shown. Animated GIF’s no longer play in versions of outlook of 2007 upwards and only display the first frame of the
                                                animation which is why it’s important to ensure that the first frame contains relevant information. A common trick is to move what
                                                would be the last frame (which would usually contain the information) to the position of the first frame.
