In his new role Steve will be responsible for the on-going growth of the business overseeing launches and acquisitions as well as working on special projects.
Mandy will manage the day to day running of the business and its future shaping.
Steve Wright says: “Kelsey Publishing has grown substantially over recent years, with successful launches and acquisitions, making us one of the most successful privately owned publishing businesses in the UK.
