Hachette Book Group Will Lead Sales for U.K. Division

By Dianna Dilworth 

The Hachette Book Group (HBG)’s U.S. division will begin handling sales and distribution for Hachette U.K. (HUK) beginning January 2016.  

HBG has been involved in selling HUK titles for several years, so this move just solidifies an existing process. For instance over the past year, HUK has already been consolidating some of its remaining U.S. distribution relationships under HBG. 

“The move to working with HBG for all UK books distributed in North America is the latest step in the consolidating all our worldwide English-language sales arrangement within the Group: we’ve been delighted by the development of the Canadian business under HBG and look forward to seeing that progress continue,” stated Ben Wright, International Sales Director of Hachette U.K. “Trafalgar Square Publishing have been our partners for many years and our thanks go to them for all they have done for us.”
