KENT10 10 YEARS of insideKENT CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF KENT’S TOP LUXURY LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE BACK IN 2010 I LAUNCHED insideKENT WITH THE PURPOSE IN MIND TO APPEAL TO A WIDE AUDIENCE OF KENT RESIDENTS, BRINGING THE BEST IN LOCAL NEWS, FOOD & DRINK, DAYS OUT, ENTERTAINMENT, ARTS & CULTURE, GETAWAYS AND MORE, IF IT WAS LUXURY OR KENTISH IT WAS IN! Looking back across the county over the last 10 years we have been graced with some of the finest restaurants and food and drink producers putting Kent firmly on top of the culinary map. There has been mass regeneration in a lot of towns and along the coast which has brought a lot of visitors, tourists and new residents to the Garden of England. Social media has been a key area for extending the coverage of insideKENT over the last few years, bringing a new following and also keeping in touch with amazing businesses and all things new coming to the county which we love to support. insideKENT has grown rapidly from a bi-monthly publication in the first few years to a monthly magazine which regularly boasts over 180 pages of the best content. Put together inhouse by our hard working, ever growing iKHQ team, who are a joy to have working in our new office at Ashford’s creative hub - Coachworks. We are proud to be the first and only free-to-read luxury publication that is distributed county-wide and partnered with Visit Kent! The team and I are truly passionate and fully focused on continuing our championing of our great county for the next decade and well beyond - here’s to the next 10 years! But before we move totally forward it’s always great to reflect too, and so we have taken some of our first articles from our very first issue, way back in the summer of 2010, and updated them a decade on… As always - happy reading Kent!
