DMG Information

DMG Information invests in business to business information-driven companies. Foremost amongst these are Landmark Information Group, Risk Management Solutions and Environmental Data Resources.

Management

The current Chairman is the 4th Viscount Rothermere (indeed, every Viscount Rothermere has been the company's chairman) and the Chief Executive is Charles J F Sinclair.

History

The group can trace its history back to 1896, with the launch of the ''Daily Mail''. DMGT was created in 1922.
In November 2005 DMGT announced its intention to sell its Northcliffe regional newspaper division. On 17 February 2006 the company announced it was abandoning the sale due to the failure of the bids to 'fully reflect the long term value of the business'.
In mid 2006, the company sold Studygroup, a subsidiary of DMG Information, to CHAMP, an Australian based private equity group.
