About Us

147 Media – ‘The Small Publishing Company with Big Ideas’

147 Media Ltd is media publishing company based just outside of the University City of Cambridge and was launched in October 1999 to publish contact-centres; originally in printed format we subsequently went’ digital’ in May 2005 both with the strap line ‘everything contact centres’.

Experience of publishing both online and in print format confirmed that the fastest way to get up to date news and information to our subscribers was to concentrate solely on the website – which we did.

Using this philosophy we aim to bring our subscribers the most up to date news and information from the contact centre industry; to achieve this we have built a network of contacts within contact centres, PR and marketing agencies.

Whilst every effort is made to achieve this on some occasions we do miss things! Should you wish to contribute to this website please email


Perry Sanger – Publisher

Having worked in senior managerial positions in B2B publishing for the likes of Emap, on FHM, Reed Business Information and Royal Society of Chemistry (to name but a few) you could say that he has been there – done that – and probably has a selection of T shirts.

Perry is the driving force behind 147 Media (or so he says…) and is both the Publisher and Editor of 147 Media’s flagship product, www.contact-centres.com.

For those of you who have been in the contact centre industry as long as Perry may recall him being Commercial Director of a certain now defunked call centre magazine which he left in 2001 to launch contact-centres.com – the rest, so they say, is history!
