The group is an integrated information and media business, structured in three operating divisions: Business Publishing, Business Information and Exhibitions. Business Publishing essentially comprises our marketing solutions activities except exhibitions. The primary focus of our marketing solutions is on measurable effectiveness, which is why digital media are a priority. Business Information essentially comprises our business-critical information activities. Their primary focus is on workflow-enabled content and to build a portfolio of high value subscription products within our target markets. The primary focus of Exhibitions is to build a portfolio of international events within our target markets.

Our core strategy is to lead our selected market communities with a diversified portfolio of market-leading publishing brands, events and business-critical information and workflow solutions. We typically aim to achieve this by:
•Creating or acquiring the leading digital information, marketing publication or exhibition brand for high value professional and commercial markets
•Reinforcing those brands through multiple brand extensions eg awards, summits, showcases, special reports, research, magazines, digital newsletters, databases, workflow tools etc.
•Exploiting the premium route to market offered by our marketing brands to enhance the market penetration of our information brands.

Centaur’s vision as a business is to secure sustainable market leadership through customer intimacy, product and service quality and continuous innovation. We believe that the key to our success lies in the calibre and commitment of our people. We aim to provide them with a working environment in which they will thrive. Our meritocratic and entrepreneurial culture is based on the following key values:
•Integrity – we aim to inspire trust and respect in our relationships both internally and externally and in the quality and usefulness of our products and services
•Creative Enterprise – we encourage our people to look for profitable new opportunities to serve our markets and to set high standards of implementation of these initiatives
