Newsagency group newsXpress supports newsagent-owned stationery wholesaler

Newsagency marketing group newsXpress supports the newsagent-owned stationery wholesale business Group Newsagency Supplies (GNS). This has been the newsXpress policy and position for years. It’s an important position, one that is good for the newsagency channel.

Rather than supporting one of the American owned stationery wholesalers, newsXpress and its members are supporting the newsagency channel and the GNS shareholders – newsagents themselves.

Our view is that the more newsagents support GNS the more the newsagency channel will benefit.
