The HUB was launched by successful entrepreneurs Scott Mochar and Vicki O'Hare as they looked for a new lifestyle business that they could grow and develop after the sale of other businesses. Scott and Vicki believed that they could offer something different to the residents of Lanarkshire and give them an alternative to the already established publications.

The pair are looking to grow the HUB across the whole of the UK through rapid expansion and acquisitions of other publications.
