Travel Weekly Group is investing in its editorial coverage and events portfolio in the UK and overseas with a series of promotions and appointments.
Current Travel Weekly head of news and Travolution editor Lee Hayhurst is to focus full-time on his Travolution role as the brand for the digital travel industry expands its presence online, in print and via its global events business.
Travel Weekly news editor Amie Keeley will step up to become head of news, with deputy news editor Ben Ireland promoted to news editor.
Recruitment has started for a deputy news editor as the group looks to extend its market leadership across all channels. Designer Emma Winton is promoted to senior designer.
Editor-in-chief Lucy Huxley said: “These well-deserved promotions and the recruitment of a deputy news editor for the travel trade’s leading publication demonstrate our commitment to delivering the best news and analysis in the industry.
“Travolution broke the mould when it pioneered coverage of the digital travel industry and travel technology, and this further investment reflects Travel Weekly Group’s continued growth and standing in the UK and an increasing number of overseas markets.”
