Nelson Thornes was purchased by Oxford University Press (OUP) in January 2013. Following acquisition, OUP decided to wind down Nelson Thornes as a separate entity, merging it with its existing Education division. The head office of Nelson Thornes in Cheltenham closed in March 2015, and all former Nelson Thornes products were made available via OUP. Nelson Thornes continues to exist as a dormant shell company, having not been formally liquidated by OUP. (en) |
