Daily Mail and General Trust plc (OTCMKTS:DMTGF) is a UK‐based media and information services company best known for its flagship titles, the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers. Founded in 1896 by Alfred Harmsworth, the company has evolved into a diversified group with operations spanning publishing, digital media, live events and strategic investments. It maintains a broad portfolio of brands and platforms that deliver news, analysis and specialist content to both consumer and professional audiences.
The company’s principal business divisions include DMG Media, which publishes newspapers such as the Daily Mail and Metro in the United Kingdom and operates MailOnline, one of the world’s most‐visited English‐language news websites. DMG Events produces a programme of trade fairs, conferences and exhibitions across Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East, serving sectors ranging from energy and construction to advertising and technology. DMG Ventures invests in high‐growth enterprises in areas such as data analytics, financial technology and digital education, leveraging the group’s global network and industry expertise.
Over the years, Daily Mail and General Trust has reshaped its portfolio through strategic demergers and disposals, including the separation of Euromoney Institutional Investor plc in 2022 to sharpen its focus on media, events and ventures. Today, it operates in more than 30 countries, with particularly strong market positions in the UK, the United States, India and the Middle East. The group’s diversified model aims to balance the stable cash flows of its established publishing assets with the higher‐growth potential of its events and investment activities.
Leadership at DMGT includes Jonathan Harmsworth, 4th Viscount Rothermere, who serves as Chairman, and Paul Zwillenberg, appointed Chief Executive Officer in 2019. Under their stewardship, the company continues to pursue digital innovation, international expansion and selective acquisitions to enhance its offerings and reach new audiences.
