Who We Are
Fresh thinking meets expertise in UK publishing recruitment.
At Redwood Publishing Recruitment, we don’t just fill roles – we build careers and transform businesses. Our team’s passion, deep understanding and experience in publishing are what sets us apart and is backed by decades of hands-on experience across all areas of publishing, including academic, trade, educational, children’s, professional and scientific publishing. We know this industry inside out, and that knowledge drives everything we do.
Your Publishing Recruitment Partner
Over thirty years of publishing recruitment expertise. One mission: finding the perfect match.
Redwood founder and Managing Director Theresa Duncan has spent over three decades successfully placing candidates across every corner of the publishing sector. As the industry has evolved from print to digital transformation, from established roles to emerging tech positions - we’ve evolved with it.
We’ve built something special; long-standing relationships with UK and international publishers who trust us to deliver. Our bespoke approach means we really listen to what employers need and what candidates want. Its personal, its knowledgeable, and its always ethical.
What makes us different? As well as covering all levels of publishing recruitment, we also specialise in Executive Search and C-suite placements, working with everyone from independent publishers to global houses, not-for-profit organisations, to cutting-edge digital platforms, across the UK and internationally.
“I’ve built the team at Redwood to do one thing brilliantly: publishing recruitment across every sector of our industry. We handle the specialist roles others can’t – permanent, contract and interim.
Publishers who want exceptional talent, know they can rely on us to find the right professional for the right opportunity, and we’ll support you every step of the way.”
Theresa Duncan, Founder & Managing Director
For clients, we understand the unique needs of the publishing sector, allowing us to match candidates from entry-level to C-suite roles effectively. Our trusted partnerships with our clients are built on 30 years of Industry expertise, keeping us aligned with today’s business demands.
For candidates, we provide a reliable bridge to the best publishing jobs. Redwood collaborates with a diverse network of organisations and industry associations, ensuring we stay updated on trends and insights.
“We focus on finding the right candidates for our partners and helping the right candidates find you. Hiring is an art, not a science, and experience and reputation are essential in choosing a publishing recruitment partner.”
