About this company

The Midland News Association Limited is a company registered in England, incorporated in 1950, whose registered business activity is the publishing of newspapers. Companies House records show it is controlled by National World Publishing Limited, indicating it operates as part of that publishing group rather than as an independent standalone title. Filing history shows recent changes in directors and registered office, along with a registered charge, but no additional detail on specific newspaper titles or circulation is given in the available records. Based on the confirmed nature of business, the company's core activity is newspaper publishing within a wider media group structure.
