Claire will be supported by Catherine Westwood, Group Editor of GoodtoKnow & Essentials at Time Inc. UK (Vice Chair, Consumer) and William Drew, Group Editor, Restaurant and World’s 50 Best Restaurants, at William Reed Business Media (Vice Chair, Business).
Claire says: “I’m delighted to be given the opportunity to lead a society that represents such a dynamic and exciting industry. I’ve been a member throughout my career, from the heady days of half a million monthly sales as Editor of Sugar, through to being Editor-at-Large of Grazia and Editor-in-Chief of SHE and now in the fast-paced and forward-thinking sector of content marketing at River. Being Editor of a magazine brand, whatever the format and channels on which it exists, is the best job in the world. It’s a challenging time for all Editors, and my aim for this year and beyond is to ensure we have a relevant and switched-on Society representing and supporting us to the best of its ability.”
