A Short History In 1856 Michael Henry Gill, who was then printer to Dublin University, purchased the publishing and book selling business of James McGlashan and formed the company of McGlashan & Gill. In 1875 the name was changed to M.H. Gill & Son. In 1968 Gill & Macmillan was established as a result of an association with Macmillan of London which in turn had been founded in 1843. In 2013 the Gill family purchased the Macmillan shareholding in the company, returning it to full Irish ownership. Today, Gill is one of Ireland’s leading publishers both of educational content for primary and post-primary schools, and of general interest titles on every aspect of Irish life. We also provide distribution services to 50+ client publishers.
