Rob Liddle (Author)
Rob was a gifted and inspirational A level teacher for more than 20 years, including Head of Psychology at KGV College in Southport. He 'retired' early to take up a new career in writing books for A level Psychology, joining our close-knit team who produce books for Psychology A level, GCSE and BTEC. In fact, he was central to that team because he had a real flair for writing, wrote prodigiously, and was also a brilliant researcher and reviewer. Sadly he died, quite suddenly, in 2023. He is greatly missed by us all, both personally and professionally.
