Francis bagged the lead story in her first issue, 8 April 1994, with an exclusive on the closure of Wrexham's Patina Press.

"Looking back at our archive things were pretty busy in spring 1994 Passmore and Northern & Shell, Colin Stanley leaving the BPIF, St Ives' new Caerphilly site and BPC's flotation plans were just a few of the memorable stories," Francis said.
