New Civil Engineer is the official magazine of the world-renowned Institution of Civil Engineers and offers insight, inspiration and education for global infrastructure professionals.

We were created in 1972 with the clear purpose to challenge and inform; to get under the skin of the industry and give professionals intelligence they cannot find elsewhere. We do this through our award-winning monthly print magazine, extensive website and daily e-newsletters and a set of industry leading events including CN & NCE TechFest, NCE Tunnelling Festival, NCE Bridges Conference & Awards and the prestigious British Construction Industry Awards.

Ground Engineering is the official magazine of the influential British Geotechnical Association and has been delivering essential technical insight on the latest developments in the geotechnical sector in the UK and around the world for more than 50 years. Supporting the magazine are our popular annual awards and regular conferences where in-depth analysis, professional development and technical best practice are discussed.

We continuously innovate to ensure that we are meeting the changing needs of our audiences. The events have an excellent reputation and are well received in an extremely competitive market.
