On 14th February 2018, Aurelius purchased the Bertram Group from Connect Group. Since completion, the management team have successfully delivered the carve-out from Connect Group. This has resulted in minimal distraction from the company’s day-to-day business and the Bertram Group is now well-placed to develop and grow its business working with its customers and suppliers. Immediately, following the change in ownership, Aurelius has moved to strengthen the current management team with the addition of Nicholas Goodwin as Chief Financial Officer, Stephen Moon as Aurelius Operating Partner and Caroline Cotterell as HR director. As of today, they are embedded in the business, working with and supporting the experienced Managing Directors of the individual Bertram Books, Wordery, International and Dawson businesses. Following the successful transition to new owners, Justin Adams, Managing Director of Connect Books (now Bertrams Group), has decided to move on to a new challenge in the coming months. Aurelius will continue to work with the management team to implement its planned strategy to drive efficiencies and accelerate growth across its full brand range, strengthening its operations, and focusing on expanding the business’s international footprint, service offering, marketing capabilities and e-commerce platform. If you require any additional information or would like to discuss any aspects of the business, please don’t hesitate to contact any member of the Bertram Books team, or directly to me. Kind regards, Marc Dubery Managing Director Bertram Books Bertram Books |
