We’re delighted to be taking the reins and incredibly proud to be continuing the legacy of a magazine that’s been such a trusted voice in the industry for so many years. First and foremost, we’d like to say a big thank you to Derek and Karen Hibbart. Through their hard work and dedication over the past two decades, they have shaped DIJ into the respected publication it is today – with a loyal readership, strong industry relationships, and a reputation for quality content. We’re lucky to have their continued support during this transition, and we wish both Derek and Karen all the very best for their well-earned next chapter. What’s next? At Clearview Group, we’ve also spent years creating and collaborating on high-quality publications that serve the construction, fenestration, and security sectors. DIJ now joins our existing titles – Clearview, Pro Installer, and The Locksmith Journal – and we believe it’s a perfect fit. Together, these magazines will open up fresh opportunities for professional collaboration, communication and shared expertise with even broader industry coverage. We’ve also got some more great news to share. After speaking with readers and advertisers, there was clear and enthusiastic support for expanding DIJ’s publishing schedule. So, we’re thrilled to announce that from 2026, The Door Industry Journal will become a quarterly magazine – with a brand-new Autumn issue added to bridge the gap between Summer and Winter editions. We’re really excited about this next stage in DIJ’s journey, and we can’t wait to see where it leads. Thank you for your continued support – we’re looking forward to bringing you even more great stories, products, insights and innovation in the months and years to come. See you next time, Gemma
