Manchester University Press
A period of major change
Manchester University Press, founded in 1904 is one of the UK’s leading midsized university presses.
First invited as an interim and then appointed as permanent CEO of MUP, I enjoyed steering it through a period of considerable change, from 2013- 2016. We installed an efficient content management system, introduced new workflow processes and commissioned Supadu to create a new website for the Press. This was their first foray into the world of university presses and they were a delight to work with.
While at MUP I was also developing Knowledge Unlatched. Back then MUP celebrated ten years of open access in 2015 with over 100 books and six OA journals.
