Becky Swanwick

Director, Education and ELT

Job description: I oversee Newgen UK’s education and ELT division, managing a team of in-house and freelance senior project managers, project managers and editors in the commissioning, development and production of titles for a number of high-profile clients. I also help Jo in identifying opportunities for business development and growing the education side of the business.

Favourite book: It changes all the time, but my most enduring favourite is The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, which I find just as hilarious and deftly written now as I did when I was nine.

Hobbies: Mainly sporty ones! I play for Stroud Hockey Club and am generally to be found running around an astroturf pitch somewhere in Gloucestershire on a Saturday.

If I were an animal, I would be a … cat. If our two are anything to go by, there’s a high level of job satisfaction.
