Andrew Furlow – Icon’s Sales and Marketing Director – celebrated last night after becoming the first ever winner of the IPG (Independent Publishers Guild) Young Independent Publisher of the Year award.
Andrew received his award during the Gala Dinner at Heythrop Park in Oxfordshire on Thursday, staged as part of the IPG’s 50th Annual Conference.
‘Andrew Furlow is the inaugural winner of this award, designed to encourage emerging talent. He was singled out by judges for achievements including the phenomenal success of The Etymologicon, one of the surprise hits of 2011. “Andrew is imaginative and tenacious and great at what he does,” said the judges. “He was instrumental in a game-changing book without neglecting the rest of Icon’s publishing.”’
Philip Cotterell, Managing Director, and Mark Forsyth, author of The Etymologicon, also attended the conference on Wednesday evening, where Mark Forsyth gave a witty, well-received speech.
