Martin and Tanya Potter (Owners/Publishers)
Island Life was established in 2005 by husband and wife Martin and Tanya Potter. Martin had several years experience behind him in the printing and publishing industry which proved invaluable. The magazine soon become very popular with local readers and businesses without who this magazine would not have been possible. Over the years Island Life has become a must have for over 30,000 coffee tables across the Island on a bi-monthly basis. There have been many rumours recently (November 2011) that Martin & Tanya have sold the magazine, these rumours are what they are, mis-informed rumours. To this day Martin and Tanya still own Island Life and will continue to do so. Martin and Tanya would like to thank all their readers and advertisers for their continued support and plan to produce a first class magazine exclusively for the Island for years to come. Martin commented “Everyone at Island Life works extremely hard to ensure we produce a first class publication of which we are all extremely proud. We all give 110%, and we all love our jobs.” Thank you.
