Brill, the international academic publisher, announces today that its CEO John Martin has resigned, to pursue other opportunities in the market for education technology in schools.

After his appointment in September 2022 he has worked closely with the leadership team at Brill in mitigating business disruption and setting up new fulfilment capabilities for the company following the sudden administration and cessation of trading of Brill's main distributor, announced on 28th September.

Robin Hoytema van Konijnenburg, Chairman of the Supervisory Board: "I regret John's decision to leave us, and on behalf of the Supervisory Board would like to thank him for successfully leading Brill through this unexpected critical period."

John Martin added: "I would like to thank the Supervisory Board and Management Team for their support and wish everyone at Brill the best for the future."

Martin's term will end at the end of March. The Supervisory Board will carefully consider the options for a successor and expects to announce interim arrangements in a Trading Update after its scheduled meeting on 15th February.
