Starting out
In the early 1980s, Nigel Gearing cut his teeth working with antiques experts Judith and Martin Miller, of Millers' Antiques Guide fame. In 1986, Pine News International was launched, at an embryonic time for that industry. John Legg joined when the business was in its infancy, having previously been part of a successful copywriting and design business has developed the editorial and production teams to class-leading standards. Pine News International established itself as part of the fabric of the burgeoning pine furniture industry during the late 1980s and into the 1990s. In 1993, the company launched a new publication for furniture and joinery manufacturers, in the shape of Furniture Production.
