Yattendon Group plc (formerly Yattendon Investment Trust) is a British-based private company owned by the Iliffe family. It has interests in Vancouver, Seattle, agriculture, marinas and local newspaper printing and publishing. It is named after the village of Yattendon in Berkshire.

Property

Yattendon owns marinas via its subsidiary MDL Marinas. It also owns large areas of land in West Berkshire.

Media

Yattendon previously owned Channel Television, and sold this to ITV plc in 2011.

Iliffe Media

Iliffe Media publishes 38 local newspapers, magazines, KMFM radio stations and associated online products.

In 2016, the Iliffe family launched a new weekly newspaper and associated media under the banner of the Cambridge Independent following the absorption of its former title, the Cambridge News, into the Trinity Mirror Group after failing to return the title following the Local World venture.

Yattendon's printing press in Milton, Cambridgeshire produces full colour newspapers for a wide range of clients.
