Beautiful Books is bringing its sales department in-house, appointing Ian Roberts to the newly-created role of sales manager.
From 17th January, Roberts will be responsible for the sales of the Beautiful Books list to all trade and specialist outlets, taking over the role from Turnaround Publisher Services. He was previously sales director at Harlequin Mills & Boon and key account manager for Pan Macmillan.
Publisher Simon Petherick said: "We're really thrilled to be having Ian join our team, bringing with him his expertise and experience. Turnaround and their team of reps have done a wonderful job of selling in our titles, but we feel now is the time to bring the role in-house to complement and enhance our now complete publishing team which includes a full-time rights officer,
PR manager and production and design manager."
Roberts said: "I am very excited to be joining Simon and the team–they are so passionate and enthusiastic about their books. The list has tremendous potential and it is wonderful to see the product being recognised with awards."
