Pressing Forward

I think we are all holding our breath to see what 2022 brings. For many in our Trade, there is a hope we will
see much easier trading conditions in the year ahead. 2021 was an exceptionally busy year for SPCK Group,
one in which we built on our foundations and got ourselves in shape for serving a market that is both familiar
in some areas and rapidly evolving in others. Our commitment to publishing outstanding books by superb
authors and supporting bookshops and suppliers is core to what we do.

The successful merger with Lion Hudson in the spring of 2021 has brought together
strength and depth to our offering as a publisher with a huge catalogue of classic titles,
like the Lion Children’s Bible, and new titles like A Good Friend, by Gemma Hunt.

We also acquired the rights to the York Courses, and are publishing the 2022 York
course, written by Carmody Grey.

We have made huge strides to strengthen our touchpoints with the market and have
been working at pace responding to demand for SPCK Group titles from people and
organisations in the book trade all around the world.

Our Client publishers are absolutely part of the family here at SPCK Group. We are as
passionate about increasing visibility and growing sales of our Clients’ titles as we are our
home grown titles. It is a privilege for us to work so closely with brilliant Clients and we are
re-doubling our efforts for 2022. To reflect that drive, we have appointed two Key Account
Managers. David Ramsay and Lawrie Stenhouse bring a wealth of experience to the team.

‘I am looking forward to sharing all SPCK and our publishing partners have to offer from a rich backlist to
exciting New Tiles for 2022 and beyond, to customers and accounts here in the UK and internationally . . .’
David Ramsay

‘We have all been affected, faced many changes, one way or another by Covid. I feel a stirring of excitement
again, with the range of product and authors we have to serve our marketplace locally and globally.’
