Chief Executive of Oxford University Press announces retirement
Dr Henry Reece, Secretary to the Delegates and Chief Executive of Oxford University Press (OUP), has announced that he will retire in June 2009 after eleven years in the position.
'I would like to thank Dr Reece for his valuable contribution to the University's success over the past decade', commented Dr John Hood, Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University. 'The Press's consistently excellent educational and scholarly publishing across the world carries the values of the University to many diverse audiences. The Press's publishing success and efficient operation has also benefitted the rest of the University by funding scholarships, research grants, and building projects, which contribute to maintaining our position as one of the world's leading teaching and research institutions.'
Despite the decade of success, Dr Reece feels that eleven years is long enough for the Press to have one person at its head. 'The position of Secretary to the Delegates and Chief Executive of the Press is, without any exaggeration, the best publishing job in the world,' he commented. 'I feel privileged to have played a part in the Press’s development since 1998, and I am confident that it will continue to evolve successfully well into the future.'
