The Board of the University
Book Shop (Otago) Ltd is pleased to announce the appointment of Phillippa Duffy
to the role of General Manager.
Phillippa ( Photo left-by Nicole
Gourley,Southland Times) has strong ties to
the book world. Many in the trade will remember her from her time with Craig
Potton Publishing in Nelson, as Sales and Marketing Manager. Most recently
Phillippa has been based in Invercargill, where she was heavily involved with
the Dan Davin Literary Foundation and worked as Marketing and Projects Manager
for the educational publisher Essential Resources.
UBS Otago has a staff of 17
and is owned by the Otago University Students’ Association. Phillippa is
taking the helm just as the bookshop enters its busiest trading time with
Christmas swiftly followed by ‘rush’ when the University’s 20,000 students
return to purchase text books for the first semester.
Phillippa takes over from the
recently retired Bill Noble, who held the position of General Manager since the
late 1970s. Phillippa’s first day in the role will be Monday 3 December.
