Get to Know Us!

We are excited to introduce the next installment of our newest feature — a Q&A with a member of the Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers team. This issue’s Q&A is with Paul Calow, Director of Burgundy Information Services Ltd, our Sales Agent for the United Kingdom, Europe, Turkey, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.

What career path brought you to MAL?

I have a BSc Hons in Countryside Management, so I am actually trained to manage a wide range of UK habitats for wildlife conservation. However, with this field being so popular with volunteers, and with my need to find paid employment after graduation to pay off student loans, I ended up taking a paid position at Blackwell Information Services (BIS). That was back in early 1997 and well over twenty years later I am yet to escape the academic publishing world.

I worked in Publisher Relations at BIS before joining the Journal Sales Team at Blackwell Publishing. This was where I first started negotiating big deals with consortia, the NHS, and corporates. At that time it was still uncommon for publishing companies to have dedicated sales teams actively promoting content to libraries, and we made significant progress in helping customers to overcome the limitations of their print-based collections and move to a more dynamic, digital environment.

The conception of Burgundy Information Services was really an extension of this success.

What do you like to do when you’re not working?

I enjoy the outdoors - the countryside, wildlife, hiking and fishing - and I am a member of a number of related local and national clubs and conservation groups. I am fortunate enough to live in Oxford (UK), so I am surrounded by beautiful architecture, countryside, waterways and wildlife.

Favorite conference you’ve attended or like to attend every year?

The annual UKSG conference has always been a favorite industry event for me as it's one where publishers and librarians can truly debate, share, and maybe even dance together! However, saying that, since Burgundy started working with Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers in Australia and New Zealand a few years ago, the annual trip to ALIA/VALA is one I very much enjoy attending, too. Like the weather, librarians there are warm and welcoming, keen to engage with vendors and to develop mutually beneficial business relationships.

What is your hidden talent (not related to work)?

I’m pretty good at punting, a quintessentially English way to spend a day on the river.

What is the best live event — music, theater, sports — you have attended?

Back in 2003, I travelled with friends to Nimes in the South of France to see a local Oxford band that we had been following for a few years, play in the French city's 2,000-year-old Roman arena. The local Oxford band worth travelling so far to see live? Radiohead.
