Mann Named CEO of 'Rebranded' Bonnier Books UK

Perminder Mann

"As the shake-up at Bonnier Publishing UK continues," Perminder Mann has been named CEO, replacing interim group CEO Jim Zetterlund, the Bookseller reported. In addition to the change at the top, the publisher will now be known as Bonnier Books UK, with a new logo, brand identity and website, "in a bid to align it more closely with its Swedish parent Bonnier Books." Bonnier Publishing's group functions will be absorbed into Bonnier Books UK. The latest changes follow a series of high-level executive departures.

Zetterlund is stepping down from his position and will become chairman of the U.K. arm, with Mann leading the U.K. company and reporting directly to Bonnier Books in Sweden. Zetterlund will continue, however, to "be involved in the day-to-day running of the business," the Bookseller noted.

"Perminder has led the U.K. business with impressive skill and dedication over the past year and I am confident she is the right candidate to lead the company into the next phase of its journey," Zetterlund said." I look forward to continuing to work with Perminder and the senior management team in my new role as chairman."
