DMGT, also known as Daily Mail and General Trust, is a privately owned company headquartered in the UK. Founded in 1922, and employing approximately 3,810 individuals, the company specializes in information services. DMGT manages a portfolio of media and information services companies, including the Daily Mail newspaper and website.
Axel Springer, the German media conglomerate, recently backed a £500 million rival bid for the Telegraph Media Group, forming a consortium led by entrepreneur Dovid Efune. This move directly challenges the acquisition deal previously agreed by Daily Mail & General Trust (DMGT), which owns publications including the Daily Mail and Metro. Previously, on February 13, the UK government launched an investigation into DMGT's planned takeover of The Telegraph, citing competition concerns. Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy issued a Public Interest Intervention Notice in relation to the deal. This intervention prompted UK regulators, including the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) and Ofcom, to seek comments from interested parties until February 27 regarding DMGT’s planned acquisition.
