The magazine helped kick-start the spectacular magazines success of EMAP, the UK company which had started life as the regional newspaper publisher East Midland Allied Press. Hepworth created many of the company's most successful magazines in the 1980s and 1990s. In 1983 he started Just Seventeen, a perennially popular magazine for teenage girls, and in 1984 the magazine Looks. Since then he has launched several further magazines in the entertainment field including Q (1986), More (1987), Empire (1988), Mojo (1993), Heat (1999). He left EMAP to launch The Word (2003).
