Our management team consists of:

Gerard Munday

Gerard Munday, General Manager

25 years experience (and still going!!) newsagent owner

Gerard has worked in the industry for many years trying to get the newsagency industry to work smarter... not harder. The time is coming to change how we have done things in the past... but not at the cost of weakening the industry. For over 100 years newsagents have serviced the distribution of newspapers and magazines. Newsagents are the experts at this…now we just need to keep up with the changing markets we work in and find a better way to achieve our goals.

Do you want to have more time to run the retail side of your business and more quality time with your family?

Take a look around this website to see how we can give you your life back as a newsagent.


"You will feel like a new person"

Have a go at our newspaper calculator and find out what the cost is to get your life back as a retailer.

I promise you will feel like a new person, not falling asleep every time you sit in the chair at home ...able to have a late night without the pain of the following day ...and all the normal stress that goes with trying to get staff to work from 4am each morning.

Our team at Southern Distribution can take all this stress away from you at a price that might just surprise you. I encourage you to have a go.
