Terence Conran: 'he transformed illustrated book publishing' News - Publliishiing Monday, 14th September 2020 Octopus pays tribute to designer, author and publisher Octopus has paid tribute to Sir Terence Conran, who died at the weekend at the age of 88. As well as being a celebrated designer and author, Sir Terence with Paul Hamlyn co-founded illustrated publisher Conran Octopus. Octopus' statement Sir Terence Conran passed away peacefully at his Barton Court Home on Saturday, 12 September aged 88. As a designer, retailer and restaurateur Sir Terence enjoyed an extraordinary life and career that revolutionised the way we live in Britain. In 1964 he created Habitat, which brought good, affordable design to the high street. Ten years later he wrote his first interior design guide, The House Book (published by Mitchell Beazley, now an imprint of Octopus) and went on to write 50 more, including most recently My Life in Design (September 2016) and an updated edition of his manual for what he called ‘easy living' Plain Simple Useful (June 2020). In 1985 he and Paul Hamlyn created Conran Octopus to produce informative but inspiring books about interiors, design, gardening and cookery, with authors who have included Gordon Ramsay, Monty Don, LEON restaurants, Dan Pearson, British Vogue and the Design Museum (founded by Sir Terence in 1989). The imprint is part of the Octopus Publishing Group. Alison Starling, Sir Terence's Publisher at Octopus, commented: "Terence's belief that good design improves the quality of people's lives was core to his creation of Conran Octopus and with it he transformed illustrated book publishing. His legendary work ethic and passion for useful, beautiful books showed no signs of flagging. Octopus creative director, Jonathan Christie and I visited him for a book meeting at Barton Court last summer. The morning began with a tour of his glorious walled kitchen garden and ended with a glass of good white Burgundy but in between there was plenty of work to be done to ensure we had the best possible book. He leaves behind an extraordinary legacy and Octopus are so proud to have been his www.bookbrunch.co.uk Design by: BDS Digital © BookBrunch Ltd. publisher." Octopus Publishing Group is part of Hachette UK.

Tax Strategy
This document, approved by the board of Hachette UK, sets out the Group’s approach to conducting its tax affairs and dealing with tax risks in compliance with schedule 19 of the Finance Act 2016 for the year ending 31 December 2020. The Hachette UK Group is committed to: • Following all applicable laws and regulations relating to its tax activities and submitting all returns by their due dates. • Maintaining an open and honest relationship with the tax authorities based on collaboration and integrity. • Applying diligence and care in our management of the processes and procedures by which all tax related activities are undertaken, and ensuring that our tax governance is appropriate. • Using incentives and reliefs to minimise the tax cost of conducting our business while ensuring that these reliefs are not used for purposes which are knowingly contradictory to the intent of the legislation. Risk management Managing the Group’s tax affairs is a complex process across many functional areas of the business and as such there will inevitably be risks of error or omission within those processes (tax risks), which may result in the incorrect application of tax rules or calculation of tax returns. Eliminating tax risks entirely is impossible. Therefore, the Group’s attitude towards the level of control required over the processes designed to reduce these tax risks is driven by the likelihood of occurrence and scale of the impact of each risk. The identified tax risks are then assessed on a case by case basis, allowing the Group to arrive at well-reasoned conclusions on how each individual risk should be managed.
