Tim Arthur is the Global CEO of Time Out Group. Based in London, New York and Paris, Time Out Group provides entertainment, food, and drink recommendations to an international audience through print and digital platforms

The original Time Out magazine was first published in 1968 by Tony Elliott with Bob Harris as co-editor.The magazine was a one-sheet pamphlet with listings for London. The magazine started as a counter-culture publication that had an alternative viewpoint on issues such as gay rights, racial equality, and police harassment. Early issues had a print run of around 5,000 and evolved to a weekly circulation of 110,000.

The brand was expanded to North America with Time Out New York magazine also known as TONY in 1995 followed by Time Out New York Kids in 1996. The success of taking the Time Out brand abroad led to the expansion of the magazine worldwide. The brand grew to include travel magazines, city guides, and books. Financial loss and the necessity to expand the Time Out brand led Tony Elliott to sell half of Time Out London and 66 percent of TONY to private equity group Oakley Capital in 2010.
