Combined with our existing Lonsdale business, the acquisition of Letts and Leckie & Leckie in 2006 has given us a clear market lead in the provision of study aids and revision guides in the UK across all subjects and stages of the national curriculum.

The greatest challenge facing educational publishers today is the delivery of content through alternative digital media and we are embracing this opportunity through the development of digital learning projects to ensure we remain a major player in our market.

Highlights

• Sales direct to schools were well above the overall market performance and contributed to our strategy of increased schools presence to reinforce retail/consumer sales.
• A year-on-year revenue increase strengthened Leckie & Leckie’s position as the leading Scottish educational publisher, and Bookscan figures confirmed that both school and retail/consumer performance outstripped the overall market.
• The new Lonsdale Essentials revision range launched in Science had an immediate impact, both contributing to year-on-year revenue growth and adding choice to the range of revision materials available to learners.
• Online revenue growth over prior year was encouraging, and the increase in the number of registered users, driven by various marketing campaigns, was also impressive.
• The expanded internal editorial and design capability allowed 21 per cent more new titles to be published in the year than planned, including the new Essentials range, which contributed to the sales growth of the Lonsdale imprint.
