Longhorn Publishers - Kampala

Longhorn Publishers Limited is a public limited liability company that is owned and operated entirely by Kenyans. It was founded in Kenya in May 1965, under the name Longmans of Kenya, and was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Longman Group International from the United Kingdom. Initially, it was mainly a sales promotion office for Longman publications published in the UK. In December 1969, the company was renamed to Longman Kenya Limited. Throughout the 1970s, a limited local publishing program was initiated and, around the same period, a few Kenyans were invited to join the Board of Directors.
