The PTC Board of Trustees

At the Publishing Training Centre, we are lucky to be able to draw on the experience of a dedicated board of trustees, who have between them held some of the most senior positions in UK publishing: 

Lis Tribe (Chair)

Lis Tribe is Managing Director of the Hodder Education Schools Division, one of the largest secondary schools publishers in the country. She joined Hodder from Routledge in 1993 as commissioning editor for vocational subjects, and has worked in a variety of publishing roles since then. At a time when the pace of change in educational publishing is really very rapid, Lis firmly believes that training is of great value to companies in supporting and developing their staff in their existing as well as future roles.

Tim Robinson

Tim Robinson started his career in consumer publishing with Victor Gollancz in 1995, before moving to the STM and professional sector with Thomson, and then to Taylor & Francis as a Commissioning Editor. Tim joined the publishing arm of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) in 1999 where he was Publishing Director until 2007 before becoming Director of Strategic Business Development. He became Managing Director of MWaCM in September 2014. Tim’s expertise and experience in the world of digital content is proving invaluable to the PTC.
