Baylis Media Ltd is an independent publisher of three weekly newspapers, providing news and information in print and online to the east Berkshire area since 1869.
The company, which publishes the Maidenhead Advertiser, Slough Express and Windsor Express, is committed to the principles of fair, accurate and impartial reporting of local issues and aims to provide its readers with unrivalled coverage of the area.
Baylis Media Ltd is unique in that its independence is guaranteed by its status as a trust. In 1962 Louis Baylis, the Maidenhead Advertiser's proprietor, created a charitable trust which bears his name.
This effectively made a gift of the newspaper to the town with the aim of keeping alive the invaluable tradition of public service it had established. Each year the trust distributes money to local good causes while the newspaper's values of public service and providing an independent voice for the community remain as strong today as ever.
The family name continues its legacy within the firm, with Norman Baylis' eldest grandson Jeremy Spooner holding the as managing director, and Gerald Baylis' eldest son Jason Baylis being the chairman and IT and production director.
In May 2008 Baylis Media Ltd bought the Slough and Windsor Express series and the company won an award for 'Weekly Newspaper Website of the Year' from the Newspaper Society in the same year.
The Baylis Media Ltd office is based in Bell Street, Maidenhead, SL6 1HX. Tel: 01628 680680

The Trust distributed grants of over £100,000 to more than 100 recipients during the last financial year and has a policy of distributing the majority of the grants to local organisations and charities, the balance going to regional and national organisations.
The majority of applications for grants from the Trust are received by post from local and national charities and organisations that are aware of the Trust. The Trust supports all sections of the community in the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead and actively encourages applications for grants from the Trust.The bulk of donations are made to benefit the elderly and the young, although many other groups including the Arts are also supported.
