NewsLink began in 1990 when its
founder
,
Roger Wood
obtained the rights to operate the
newsagency
concessions at
railway stations
in
Sydney
,
Australia
.
In 1994 NewsLink expanded into its first
airport
operations. The growth and potential of the business was soon recognised, and Newslink became the first company chosen by
R. M. Williams
and
Australian Geographic
to represent their
brands
in travel retail.
In 2000 NewsLink joined
Times the Bookshop
and opened the first TimesNewsLink store at
Singapore Changi Airport
in
Singapore
.
NewsLink became part of
Hachette Distribution Services
(HDS) in 2001. HDS is a worldwide company that operates an international network of
media
and
entertainment

French
conglomerate
