North West monthly lifestyle magazine YQ has been bought by Yorkshire publisher, Regional Magazine Company, just two months after it celebrated its 3rd birthday.
The magazine will continue to circulate in the region, but RMC will incorporate Moving House into the title.
"YQ is a fantastic publication. We were attracted by the quality of its production, content and the strength of the brand," explained John Murphy, managing director of RMC.
"For a local magazine in the North West it really is out on its own compared to what else is available."
It was founded by Greg Bamber as a quarterly magazine (Your Quarter - YQ), but he sold his 50% shareholding in February this year to publisher Peter Lever.
How-Do tried to contact Lever today, but he was unavailable.
RMC says that sales executives, Odette Calder and Ruth Wertylo will continue to work for the magazine, but it will be designed at their Sheffield headquarters.
