Boston Ventures buys Oakstone Publishing

Boston Ventures has acquired Oakstone Publishing from Haights Cross Communications. Oakstone Publishing established brands that are recognised for providing relevant content through its two complementary operating units: Oakstone Medical and Personal Best.

‘We plan to leverage Boston Ventures’ experience in the publishing sector to grow the two segments of Oakstone’s business,’ said Elizabeth Granville-Smith, a managing director at Boston Ventures. ‘We see a number of strategic initiatives that can develop both the medical and wellness businesses. Oakstone Medical’s strategic relationships, product development capabilities and electronic publishing infrastructure provide a solid platform for future growth.’

Nancy McMeekin, president and CEO of Oakstone Publishing, will continue in her capacity as will the rest of the senior management team.
