Last month, Polestar secured a new five-year contract with Associated Newspapers for the production of the publisher's weekend supplements. Polestar will continue to print Weekend magazine for Saturday's Daily Mail at its web offset companies, Polestar Petty and Polestar Colchester, with The Mail on Sunday supplements, Live and You Magazine, printed gravure at Polestar Sheffield.
