We are delighted to announce that Ben Selby will be joining the company on 5 January 2015 in the role of Business Development Director. Ben’s appointment is as a result of Kathryn Knight’s departure to take up the post of CEO of Tido Enterprises, a start-up music technology company.
Having started his publishing career with Faber Music, Ben subsequently moved to Oxford University Press and then, in 2003, to ABRSM, where he progressed to become Publishing Director, Group Marketing Director and finally to the strategic role of Business Development Director. At Faber Music he will take responsibility for all of the company’s print publishing functions: primarily Editorial, Marketing and Production. He will also work closely with the Digital and Sales departments as we identify and develop new opportunities both in the UK and internationally.
We warmly welcome Ben back to the company and look forward to having him lead our print and educational publishing business as we enter our 50th anniversary year.
Ben Selby said:
"I am delighted to be returning to Faber Music after 15 years. I look forward to working with colleagues to build on Faber’s success and further develop its high quality, innovative print and education catalogue globally."
Richard King said:
“Ben’s appointment continues for us a long tradition of the highest quality leadership and management within our print publishing functions. I have no doubt that he will make a very significant contribution in this pivotal role, both in the development of our publishing business and as a director of the company.”
