Meet The Team – John Porrett

Position: Managing Director

Role at Unique Magazines: As the Managing Director, my primary focus is on shaping the vision and strategic direction of Unique Magazines. I am deeply committed to ensuring that every interaction our customers have with us is exceptional, both in service and experience. A significant part of my role involves leveraging technology to enhance our online presence, making our website not just a marketplace, but a destination for magazine enthusiasts. I am passionate about cultivating a workplace culture where our team feels empowered, valued, and driven by a shared goal – to delight our customers and foster a love for magazines. Assembling a team that shares this passion is both a priority and a joy for me.

Favourite Magazines: My reading interests are as diverse as they are specific. I am an avid reader of cinema and film magazines, where I delve into the latest film reviews and industry insights. Business magazines keep me abreast of the challenges and triumphs of fellow business owners, while car magazines feed my fascination with the latest in automotive innovation and design.

Hobbies and Interests: Outside of Unique Magazines, my world revolves around family and a plethora of interests that keep me energized. I cherish spending time in nature, whether it’s a tranquil walk or an adventurous hike. The cinema is a regular escape for me, as is watching films at home, immersing myself in stories from around the globe. My palate is always eager for good quality food, and I find relaxation in reading autobiographies and listening to music. I enjoy the strategic game of Snooker and pool, hold a special place in my heart for all things Disney, and relish the tranquillity of visiting spa hotels across the UK.
