Portland Customer Services handling RSC journals

The decision has been taken after a review of options available to the RSC to provide efficient, economical and customer-focused services for the fulfilment and distribution of its services worldwide.

Portland Customer Services is a well-established service provider which specializes in membership services and the distribution of academic and professional publications both for the Biochemical Society and other organizations.

Peter Gregory, Director of Publishing, Royal Society of Chemistry said: "We look forward to working closely with another learned society to improve the services offered to our members and customers."

Rhonda Oliver, Managing Director, Portland Press Ltd: "We are delighted that the RSC, by choosing our global fulfilment and distribution service, has demonstrated its confidence in our staff and systems. We look forward to a long and fruitful association with such an important member of the scholarly publishing community."

Portland Press has its own international publishing programme of journals and books and carries out a wide range of services via its Portland Customer Services Centre, Colchester.
