===After 1997: return to business===
By 1997, when his career as a Cabinet minister ended, Haymarket was making an annual profit of over £10m and employing around 1,000 people. Heseltine resumed management of the company after Masters' retirement in 1999.<ref>Michael Heseltine, ''Life in the Jungle'', Hodder & Stoughton, 2000, {{ISBN|0-340-73915-0}}, pp. 92–4.</ref> Haymarket has seen reduced profitability in the UK since 1999, but has expanded further into foreign markets (for example India). It has also laboured under heavy borrowings of over £100 million to buy back Masters' and Tindall's large minority shareholdings, which have been reduced to some extent by the sale of properties. Heseltine has now retired from day-to-day management, handing over to his son Rupert.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.flashesandflames.com/2015/07/whats-next-for-haymarket-media/ |title=What's next for Haymarket Media? |work=Flashes and Flames.com |date=27 July 2015 |access-date=29 July 2015}}</ref>
