History

The magazine was founded in 1968. It was published by Reed International until 1983. Between 1983 and 1990 IBI was owned by then chief editor Nick Hopkinson, who had worked at IBI already from the launch. Hopkinson sold the magazine to United Newspapers before buying it back as part of a greater investment consortium in 1995. They sold it to Time Inc. in 1998.[3] In 2017 Time Inc. was acquired by Meredith Corp. Hopkinson then purchased IBI for the third time when its new owners decided to close the magazine.[4][5]

The headquarters of the magazine is in London.[1]
