After 139 issues from April 1998, AME (Amenity Machinery & Equipment) magazine is closing with immediate effect.

Publisher Malcolm Benjamin said, "AME has fulfiled what we believe to be an important role in the machinery sector for fifteen years with continual free editorial, however due to insufficient advertising support, it is no longer commercially viable for us to continue.

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our advertisers for their loyalty in the past and particularly all those who had booked for the forthcoming year - sadly not to be published."
