History
FACTUM - CREATO - CHARISMA
Achievement - Creativity - Charisma

Human history has frequently showcased the the art of preserving biographies of exceptional personalities for the next generations. This stems from a deep-rooted tradition.

Precursors of today’s biographical encyclopaedias could already be found in ancient times. Curricula of the philosopher and writer Plutarch are still today the richest source of information displaying remarkable stories that are essential for many people living in modern times. In the Renaissance period, taking inspiration from Greek collective biographies, Filippo Villani published Le vite d’uomini illustri florentini (The lives of famous Florentines) which illustrated Florence as a big family whose most talented children had memorials erected to them in tribute.

In 1849, the very first biographical encyclopaedia was dedicated to the British royal family, the high aristocracy, politicians, judges and officers.

In 1897, the first modern edition of the encyclopaedia by the Black’s cousins appeared in England. In this period, biographies of personalities from different professional sectors could already be found in libraries.

The tradition of biographical encyclopaedias goes back to the 1840s. BPH - BRITISH PUBLISHING HOUSE LTD‘s ambition is to meet 21st century expectations and become a prestigious lexicon of successful personalities and a modern online network tuned into today’s wavelength.

BPH – British Publishing House Ltd. has therefore established an expert team composed of executives, ma-nagers and assistants who ensure the smooth running of the business on a daily basis, and offer consistent help to our members. Thanks to the diligent efforts of our team; whose tasks consist of: keeping biographies up to date, seeking new success stories and conducting personal interviews - Encyclopedia’s members can benefit from a high value database and a flourishing online networking platform which will most certainly become a powerful tool on their way to new successful destinations.

Admission process

The decision of our editorial board to accept an application is based on reliable recommendations and extensive research. It may admit personalities who are a valuable asset to our society, i.e. opinion leaders, as well as leading and merited personalities across Europe. However, among the selected candidates are not only people who have already reached the top of their career; but also those whom we would like to assist on their way to the top.

Potential members are firstly invited to a personal interview, the outcome of which determines whether to accept the candidate among Encyclopedia’s members. An admission letter subsequently confirms the acceptance.

Following their admission, our members are granted access to the online network and can also benefit from a wide array of possibilities focused on obtaining information, reputation building, and further professional development.

Advantages

Nowadays, an online presentation of one’s professional activity is more important than ever. You can also add value to your curriculum by means of a video interview. It will be then presented on our online platform and you can display it on your website too.
