Book Network Int’l Limited Teams Up With Ingram Content Group to Present Leading Worldwide Facilities
PLYMOUTH, England, June 30: Book Network Int’l Limited
(“NBNi”), a UK-based physical and digital book provider, has been procured by
Ingram Publisher Services LLC, a functioning component of Ingram Content Group.
NBNi’s customer facility trade will stand together with Ingram’s extensive array
of digital, physical as well as print-on-demand solutions to generate a leading
worldwide facilities contribution.
“NBNi is a sound, established and widely respected
distributor in the British book trade with a great stable of publisher clients,
and well-supported by the excellent and experienced team in Plymouth. Our plan
is to build on this strong foundation and grow the business: our acquisition of
NBNi is premised upon that strategy. We think this is a marvellous opportunity
to have a distribution centre in the U.K. and one that complements our growing
range of services that we provide to publishers in the United Kingdom market,” revealed
David Taylor, senior vice president of content acquisition international at
Ingram Content Group.
“As our academic publishing program in the U.K. has grown
very quickly under the leadership of Oliver Gadsby in our London office, we are
shifting our focus away from distribution and toward publishing outside of
North America. We will continue to own and operate NBNi's sister company,
National Book Network, in North America. Our 14 years in Plymouth have been
rewarding, and we thank the team there. Ingram is the ideal new owner to step
into our shoes, and we will be pleased to remain clients of NBNi for all our
international distribution,” stated Jed Lyons, CEO of NBNi's parent enterprise,
the Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group, Inc.
Ingram Publisher Services will append NBNi’s delivery provision
in Plymouth, UK to its wide-ranging digital and print logistics system.
