At the UK Independent Publishers Guild awards in February 2014, Usborne Publishing was awarded the IPG Children’s Publisher of the Year award and the prestigious IPG Independent Publisher of the Year award.
The IPG commented that Usborne Publishing was a very worthy addition to the roll-call of IPG Independent Publishers of the Year, and that its 40th anniversary year was also its most successful yet, driven by outstanding sales growth in key export and rights markets.
Peter Usborne, founder of Usborne Publishing, was given a standing ovation when he collected the Independent Publisher of the Year Award, which he dedicated to his staff. "I am extremely proud," he said. "The staff of Usborne are magic."
“I think this award is completely just recognition of the wonderful work Usborne have been doing recently, you’re innovators across so many children’s categories, producing brilliant non-fiction and novelty as well as having a fiction list that is shaping up to be both interesting and commercial, a bookseller’s dream.“
