We are thrilled to announce that SEN Books has recently been acquired by SEND Group Ltd, marking a significant milestone in our journey of providing high-quality resources for the Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) community. This exciting development follows the decision by Colin and Rachel Redman, who have dedicated over 25 years to the success of SEN Books, to retire.
SEN Books has long been a trusted source for professionals in the SEND field, offering a wide range of specialised titles on dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD, autism, and other learning difficulties. Over the years, Colin and Rachel have worked closely with renowned authors such as Steve Chinn, Judy Hornigold, and Neil MacKay, contributing to the publication of numerous essential resources for supporting pupils with special educational needs.
The acquisition by SEND Group Ltd, under the leadership of Arran and Lucy Smith, ensures that SEN Books will continue to uphold its reputation for excellence. Arran Smith, who has extensive experience in dyslexia, neurodiversity, and education, is well-placed to guide SEN Books into its next chapter.
In his comments, Colin Redman expressed confidence in the new leadership: “Arran Smith has been a trusted colleague for many years. His extensive work in dyslexia, neurodiversity, and education makes him exceptionally well-suited to lead SEN Books into the future. We are confident that under his and Lucy’s leadership, SEN Books will remain a valuable resource for teachers, parents, and SEND professionals. We’re especially delighted for the authors we work with that there will be continuity for their resources and a boost to the awareness of their work.”
Arran Smith also shared his enthusiasm for the future, stating: “We are excited to take on the responsibility of continuing the excellent work that Colin and Rachel have done with SEN Books. Our focus is on maintaining the strong legacy they’ve built while expanding our reach and impact within the education community. We look forward to providing ongoing support to those dedicated to special education needs and disability.”
As we embark on this new chapter, we want to reassure our community that SEN Books will continue to offer the same high-quality resources you have come to rely on. We will also be exploring new opportunities to expand our offerings and enhance our support for educators, parents, and professionals in the SEND field.
