Dear Bookseller
A message from Valerie Snyders, Commercial Director
As another busy year draws to a close, I would like to thank each and every one of you for the part that you have played in making 2024 such a successful year for Macmillan. One of the many reasons to love this industry is that no two days are alike. Whilst we sometimes wish life could be more predictable, it’s the surprises and last-minute challenges that make publishing and selling books fun!
In 2024, we welcomed the announcement that the DBE would be inviting publishers to submit new Foundation Phase CAPS material. This meant saying goodbye to dated content and hello to a new focus on diversity, equity and inclusion. These principles are at the core of our business, so we’re delighted to be able to bring them into our books.
For TVET colleges, we’re finalising the last batch of Nated revised books, and we will have amazing QCTO product available soon. Partnering with other companies has led to exciting new products like phonics material, mental maths books and online coding software being added to our range. Watch this space for news about a brand-new international range for 2025!
We are always trying to find ways to improve our service to you as our valued business partner. Changes in our stock management process this year should have resulted in shorter waiting periods for popular titles. Our team are also investigating using new technology to improve turnaround times and information flow. But most of all, we value the connections that we build with you throughout the year.
We wish you all the best for the festive season and look forward to partnering with you again in the new year to improve the lives of children through education.
