Our Story

Shephard Media is firmly recognised in the top tier of global defence publishers and a key partner for the industry.

Founded as The Shephard Press in 1981 by Alexander Shephard. In the same year, the company launched its first magazines, Helicopter World and Defence Helicopter World, with the latter now known as Defence Helicopter. Over the three and half a decades since it was founded, Shephard Media has launched a number of other titles, including the globally renowned Unmanned Vehicles in the early 1990s, along with a range of industry-leading handbooks.

In 2008, the company was strengthened through an acquisition by a new owner, Nicholas Prest, and two years later was rebranded as Shephard Media. Since then, the company has explored new horizons in the defence industry, through its print publications, digital offerings and Defence Insight market intelligence tool, first launched in 2014.

Defence Insight provides a fully searchable online product database, along with access to news, analysis and market forecasts.
