Today marks the first birthday of Hosking Industries. Founded on February 1, 2010 the company was started to house the many freelance activities of its creator Ben Hosking.

Having spent the previous seven years working full time for Sydney magazine publisher Express Publications and having recently left the company to work on his own; Ben chose the company format to allow him the potential to expand over the following years into any shape he wished – hence the relatively ambiguous company name. So far his activities have spanned the realms of performance automotive publishing, music journalism, graphic and web design, photographic and printing services and even the odd guitar lesson.

Our first 12 months have positively flown by in a whirlwind of success we couldn’t have dreamed and our blog has done exceptionally well. So thank you to all who’ve stopped by to check us out, download some free texture images or keep up to date with what we’ve been doing. You can bet we’ll have plenty more for you over the course of the next 12 months!

2011 will see dozens more feature cars photographed and written by Hosking Industries as well as other photographic excursions like portraiture and weddings, not to mention private car shoots. We’ll have another year’s worth of free texture images and we’ll also be endeavouring to continue our relatively short lived news stories on the automotive and music worlds – and anything else that takes our fancy.

So cheers and thanks for your support so far. We look forward to bringing you plenty more in 2011!

Ben Hosking
