Glover joins Rowman & Littlefield International

Ben Glover is leaving Insight Guides to join academic publisher Rowman & Littlefield International as sales and marketing director.

Glover was formerly group sales director at Insight Guides after working previously in sales and marketing roles with Kogan Page and HarperCollins. He will take up his new appointment on 10th July.

Rowman & Littlefield International chief executive, Oliver Gadsby, said: “We are very pleased that Ben is taking on the leadership role in our growing sales and marketing team in London.

“He will be responsible for the sales of the substantial Rowman & Littlefield list, published from the US for a global market. He’s also be taking on the sales of London-based Rowman & Littlefield International, which has grown from a standing start to a substantial presence over the past four years. In doing so, he will have a great deal of contact with our distribution partner NBNi, now part of the Ingram Content Group.”

On Monday it was announced that US-based Ingram Content Group bought UK distributor Book Network International Limited from the Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group.
