London, UK – [December 16, 2024] – Ingram Publisher Services® UK (“IPS UK”), an Ingram Content Group UK Ltd. brand, will provide comprehensive distribution services throughout the UK for Brepols Publishers beginning February 1, 2025. A distinguished, Belgian-based academic publisher with an illustrious 200+ year history, Brepols’ publications are concentrated in humanities and social sciences, with a particular focus on medieval studies, Renaissance studies, musicology, art history, archaeology and religious studies.
“We’re delighted to welcome Brepols to Ingram Publisher Services UK,” said Matthew Dickie-Cross, Senior Manager of IPS UK. “Over the past few years, we’ve worked hard to ensure that IPS UK is the natural choice of distributor for academic publishers, with a specific focus on raising the profile of scholarly publishing within the wider industry. Brepols has a long and outstanding reputation for publishing high-quality scholarship, and we are proud to partner with them to make their publications even more widely available.”
Alexander Sterkens, Managing Director at Brepols, added, “We are confident that Ingram’s expertise, technology and distribution network will be invaluable in helping us to expand our current reach in the UK. It’s important to us that we select the best partners to ensure our first-rate titles reach readers in the finest condition, and we feel that, with a background in servicing several high-profile clients, IPS UK will excel in that.”
In addition to benefiting from industry-leading metadata and reporting services like CoreSource® and Ingram iQ®, Brepols will gain access to a brand-new, self-service publisher portal. This portal, along with other new IPS UK services, will streamline operations and provide Brepols with greater control and efficiency in managing its titles.
“The whole direction of our business is in creating operational efficiencies while simultaneously raising quality,” said Dickie-Cross. “Over the next year, we’ll be announcing new ways of working with publishers that we’re certain will make a positive impact on future sales.”
