Ownership Structure
IPC set up a management development department in 1965, this led to a reorganisation of
the Group, in 1968, into six divisions:
IPC Newspapers — including The People and The Sun (soon sold), as well as the Daily
Mirror and Sunday Pictorial
IPC Magazines — consumer magazines and comics
IPC Trade and Technical — specialist magazines (later known as IPC Business Press Ltd.)
IPC Books — all book publishing (headed by Paul Hamlyn, whose own company had been
acquired by IPC).
IPC Printing — all non-newspaper printing operations (headed by Arnold Quick, whose own
company had also been acquired by IPC).

2. IPC New Products — launching pad for products which used new technology (headed by
Alistair McIntosh).
All the divisions were headed by chairmen who originated in Mirror Group, except for
Hamlyn, Quick and McIntosh.
