The company was founded by Gareth Robertson in 1991, though he had been using the concept some time before that, it was set up in the hope to give analyst sales leads out of the weekends press. This expanded to what it is today, covering summaries and briefs from the 13 leading weekend papers, covering a profile from each of the papers, tips and hints on
shares and businesses as well as providing a viewpoint from the editor.
AOL use the Weekend City Press Review to provide content to their popular UK money pages on their website, and the
Investors Chronicle use a short extract of the review to produce on their homepage every Monday.

St John's Ambulance and
The Lord's Taverners. For 2010 the charity supported is The Connection who work with the homeless. ==Readership==
