in 1985 as a UK company with just one magazine; Amstrad Action. An early innovation was the inclusion of free

than a third of its ad revenues came from online sales, with its digital operation making a profit for the first
time.

£40m. Advertising revenues fell 4% to £20.4m, of which £7.9m came from online, a 30% increase year on
