Amberley Publishing acquires Ryland Peters & Small

(June 2025)

Ryland Peters & Small was founded in 1995 by David Peters, together with Anne Ryland and Jacqui Small. "Through David’s vision, RPS became the market-leading lifestyle publishing house it is today," Ryland Peters & Small said. "Following David’s passing in 2024, the company sought to continue his legacy through this sale – the deal was arranged by Bertoli Mitchell."

Nick Hayward, CEO of Amberley, said: "We are thrilled to welcome Ryland Peters & Small into the Amberley family. RPS has an outstanding reputation for producing beautiful, high-quality books that inspire and delight readers around the world. We look forward to building on its remarkable legacy and expanding its reach even further."

Trish Peters, former acting MD of Ryland Peters & Small, added: "I am delighted that Amberley Illustrated will continue Ryland Peters & Small. Nick and his team have considerable publishing experience and are excited to take on this new challenge."

Following the acquisition, Amberley will continue to publish under the name Ryland Peters & Small Limited.
