St. James's House Media Group, "part of a creative media group that delivers 'bespoke solutions,' business and marketing expertise to a global client base including brands, governments and campaigning bodies," has purchased the assets of Black Dog Publishing and sister company Artifice Books, which had recently gone into liquidation, the Bookseller reported.
Joint liquidators Neil Bennett and Alex Cadwallader of Leonard Curtis Business Solutions Group said they had been able to sell the assets of the companies "shortly after being appointed" on January 24 due to Black Dog Publishing and Artifice Books' "solid reputations within the industry." The companies stopped trading and dismissed their 22 employees January 5.
