Bev is well known by the UKSG community, having held senior roles at Taylor & Francis, BioMed Central, Springer Nature and F1000. She has also served on several UKSG committees.

"We would like to publicly thank Sarah for outstanding service as our inaugural Executive Director, including setting up our new office and recruiting new members to our team," comments Kate Price, Chair of UKSG. "and I'm delighted that Bev will be joining us full time to build on these successes and further shape the future and growth of UKSG."

Bev added: "I have been involved in UKSG since early in my career, and have found it to be a valuable network and support forum. Having volunteered in various capacities to support UKSG's governance and operations I'm thrilled to be getting more closely involved in the strategic management of this important community forum."

Bev Acreman takes office with immediate effect and will be attending UKSG's One-Day Conference and Forum in London next week. She can be contacted at bev@uksg.org.
