Customer Announcement November 2010

The Holt Jackson Book Company Ltd
Customer Announcement November 2010

As our business continues to expand, our holding company The Little Group, has taken the decision to further strengthen our standing in the library supply market with the merger of The Holt Jackson Book Company Ltd and Askews Library Services Ltd. From March 1st 2011 the combined company, will be Askews and Holts Library Services Ltd, continuing to operate from Preston with staff from both companies coming together as one team.

In a time of budget constraints and spending reviews, this merger will have a positive effect for both Holt Jackson and Askews customers, with the enhanced combination of services, efficiencies and security that this merger offers. Our decision will bring together two specialist library supply companies that enjoy first class reputation for innovation and for exceeding customer expectations. The Directors and Senior Management of both companies are keen to start working closely together and to continue moving the business forward and drive the agenda in library supply. David Fisher and Andy Holland, supported by fellow directors Kathryn Pattinson, Jaqui Holborn and Tim Cotterall, will shortly be visiting all customers and taking the opportunity over the next few weeks and months to outline details of merging the two companies.

The merged company will be formally announced in Spring 2011 with a series of country wide road shows, which will highlight our combined services portfolio on offer, including the rollout of our eBook service.
If you have any questions or concerns in the meantime with regard to your current business, please contact your Sales Manager directly who will be happy to discuss them with you.

Kathryn Pattinson
Managing Director
