It was formed in 2012 by David Montgomery, a former chief executive of Trinity Mirror, to buy the Daily Mail and General Trust's Northcliffe Media business, and the Yattendon Group's Iliffe newspaper group.{{cite news|title=Daily Mail sells regional newspapers to Local World|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-20424474|access-date=15 September 2015|publisher=BBC News|date=21 November 2012}}
