I stumbled across this thread when researching a job advertised in my area (Cambridgeshire).
A publishing company called AMP is advertising for an Editorial Assistant in Ely. It seems pretty likely this is Austin Macauley and that the Ely office is still much more than a 'distribution centre' (as advised on their website).
The advert says:
'In addition to general administrative work, the post will involve speaking and writing to authors. There will also be considerable scope for reading and writing reports on authors’ manuscripts and learning the minutiae of publishing contracts.'
Needless to say, having read the comments on this forum I do not want to work for this company.
The advert is here: http://www.indeed.co.uk/m/viewjob?j...7c08ec3ecf6012dd26f3773156e870cace3277f6b99df
And you should not work for such a company. As with all forum threads on AW, it is worth looking thoroughly through the historical threads. There isn't much more spoken and reported on AM, Olympia and Pegasus. The MO for entrapping would-be employees looking for a publishing career and authors hasn't changed in more than 10 years. Avoid.
