emap is a progressive B2B subscriptions, networking and content business with industry-leading brands, reaching customers across multiple touch points including online, print, and face to face at events, exhibitions and awards.

The CONE (Construction, Officers, Nurses, Engineers) division’s portfolio includes Nursing Times, Construction News, Local Government Chronicle, New Civil Engineering and Ground Engineer.

These are brands with huge history and significant impact. Your role will help critically important industries and sectors have access to high quality information that helps them make the important decisions we all benefit from.

A Nursing Times subscriptions contains high value clinical, learning and academic content that helps nurses with their continuous professional development and to practice safely.

Local government chronicle has been the voice of local government management since 1855. It helps local government leaders understand how local authorities are transforming the provision of services every one of us relies on – social care, education, housing and many more.

For over 150 years Construction News (CN) has been the leading provider of news and insight for the nationally important construction industry. The industry directly represents 7% of UK GDP and indirectly supports as much as 15%. Investment in construction is a major area of public policy, as demonstrated by huge projects like HS2 and Hinkley Point C, which is why when the UK economy needs a lift politicians will talk about “build, build, build”.

This is a fascinating time as the construction industry is in a period of root and branch modernisation. The sector is rapidly embracing new technologies such as AI, machine learning and big data. The industry is determined to have a more diverse workforce and has a very important role to play in helping the UK achieve net zero. It is also still grappling with the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower tragedy and the changes required to ensure building safety. The construction community has a real need for the high-quality information a subscription provides at a time of major transformation.
