Joel joins from Which? where he was Senior Writer. Prior to that Joel spent four years at Future working on PlayStation: The Official Magazine. Joel joined as Staff Writer in April 2010, working his way up to become Reviews Editor in May 2011 and Deputy Editor in May 2012, before leaving to join Which? in November last year.
Joel says: "I'm extremely pleased to be heading up a publication as well-loved and long-lasting as GamesMaster, especially at such an exciting time for both the industry and the magazine itself. Having been away from games media for a few months I can confirm that real jobs are definitely not for me, and I'm delighted to be joining a team that's small but brilliant. Like a pygmy hedgehog. Together we'll work hard to put out the best multi-format gaming magazine around."
Lee Nutter, Head of Games for Future, says: “Joel is steeped in the world of gaming and enjoyed tremendous success during his time on PlayStation: The Official Magazine. His knowledge and passion for the industry makes him the perfect candidate to drive GamesMaster forward and I’m delighted to welcome him back to Future.”
Joel will take up his new role on Monday 17th February.
