What they say
Dominic Knight, Managing Director of Palgrave Macmillan, said: ‘We are delighted to be able to add these market-leading publications to our rapidly growing lists in these areas. There will be important synergies with other publishing streams within Palgrave Macmillan. We also look forward to maintaining close and mutually beneficial links with The Perpetuity Group, not least through Martin Gill, who is a Director of Perpetuity Research and Consultancy International and will remain editor of one of the journals and one of the forthcoming books which we have acquired.”
Karen Gill, Managing Director of Perpetuity Press Limited, said: “I believe that this is a good move for all parties, the books and journals will benefit from Palgrave Macmillan’s expertise and international profile. Moreover, the Perpetuity Group of companies are very enthusiastic about and committed to working with Palgrave Macmillan.”
