BERTRAM

Bertram is a book wholesaler to independent, online and multiple retailers. Now in our 50th year, Bertrams was founded in a chicken shed in 1968 by the late Elsie Bertram, MBE and her son Kip. From these humble beginnings, Bertrams grew to become the UK’s leading book supplier to retailers large and small, in the UK and overseas. We now offer a single source of supply from over 5,000 publishers from our 185,000sq foot warehouse. We supply a broad range of customers worldwide with next day de... livery on over 200,000 in stock titles. Bertrams strive to make bookselling easy, and our customers benefit from competitive pricing on over 10 million titles, and great customer service offered by both personal account managers and our experienced customer service team. We also offer a range of marketing support to our customers, and regular promotional offers on thousands of relevant titles. Our marketing and buying teams work closely with publishers to select titles for promotions and often work with a panel of independent booksellers to select titles for key publications. Bertline is our market leading stock control system, used by more customers in the UK than all other systems combined. Aurelius Investments, a pan European asset manager, acquired the business in February 2018, from Connect Group who had been the owners since 2009. Aurelius see significant potential for the group, now rebranded Bertram Group. In the coming months, Aurelius will work with the senior leadership team to implement its planned strategy to drive efficiencies and accelerate growth across its full brand range, strengthening its operations, and focusing on expanding the business' international footprint, service offering, marketing capabilities and e-commerce platform.More
