The publisher of British Baker, William Reed Business Media (WRBM), has acquired Decision News Media (DNM) - an internet publishing company dedicated to reporting breaking news for the global B2B industries.

DNM, based in Montpellier, France, has established a reputation for authoritative, in-depth and insightful news reporting of food, nutrition, cosmetics and pharmaceutical topics. Its flagship websites are FoodNavigator.com, NutraIngredients.com and BakeryandSnacks.com. The new enlarged company will accelerate the growth of its online brands and expand into new areas such as events, recruitment, data services and directories.

"We are thrilled about this acquisition. DNM’s business nicely complements ours," said WRBM group MD Charles Reed.
