Winners of the FutureBook Awards 2025 were named earlier this month, with Fleur Sinclair, owner of Sevenoaks Bookshop and president of the Booksellers Association of the U.K. & Ireland, taking Leader of the Year honors, the Bookseller reported.
Celebrating leadership, strategy and vision, the awards were given to "pioneers and the game-changers, the outsiders and the allies, the champions of ideas that are a bit different." See the full list of winners here.
Philip Jones, editor of the Bookseller and chair of the judges, said: "Our winners show all the talents bursting through, pushing boundaries, redefining their roles, and leading this marvellous business into tomorrow. I was particularly delighted to see such strong contenders for our new sales and production awards, which, as acknowledged on the night, are often under-appreciated."
