Out & About!

Last night, Stir attended the BSME - The British Society of Magazine Editors Talent Awards 2026 at Quaglino’s, celebrating the rising talent shaping British magazine and digital publishing.

Hosted by broadcaster and author Kemi Rodgers alongside BSME Chair 2026 Dan Green, the evening recognised the next generation of editorial excellence across print and digital.

We were also proud to secure a partnership opportunity for our client, Ramsbury Brewing & Distilling Co. Ltd., whose London Dry Gin miniatures were included in the evening’s goodie bags.

One interesting stat shared by headline sponsor Readly: the platform’s peak reading time is Wednesday at 6pm. The Readly Award itself went to Natalie Bass at BBC Good Food for her article, “5 of the Best Gadgets for Gifting”, which achieved the highest readership on the platform in 2025.

A fantastic evening of great conversation, inspiring talent and a reminder of the important role quality editorial continues to play across publishing. Congratulations to all the winners and nominees.
