Bailgate Independent magazine was born ten years ago following owners
Tony and Mandy Copeland’s move to Lincoln from London.
The couple set up Fire Works Design Ltd. (so called because it was sited
in the old fire station in uphill Lincoln) and shortly after Bailgate
Independent magazine.
The magazine initially concentrated
on the uphill Bailgate area but has subsequently grown to cover the
affluent residential and business areas of Lincoln, Newark and surrounding
villages.
As part of the company’s
growth, the business moved from its Bailgate premises to a much larger
building in Lincoln’s Danesgate in December 2009.
Bailgate Independent has developed into a unique publication in Lincoln
by breaking the normal publishing design ‘rules’.

The result is an attractive publication which manages to have something
for everyone and one which has and is, continuing to go from strength
to strength in a very competitive market.
Fire Works Design Ltd. continues
to produce
graphic design solutions
from corporate design to sales promotion.
