Tim Williams, Edward Elgar Publishing

Tim Williams didn't start out as a publisher, he came to the industry via roles in business development then consultancy. But his big business approach, investing in new technologies and building on the organisation's award-winning independent status, has seen Edward Elgar Publishing flourish under his leadership.
In this conversation, Tim talks about resisting industry pressures to outsource, the value of financial independence, and how technology can preserve rather than replace the human touch in academic publishing.
