Gavin succeeds Paul Lay, who tweeted in November: “News. After more than 12 years, I’ll be stepping aside as editor of @HistoryToday next month. Thanks to all who’ve been part of the story. It’s been a blast.”
Gavin Stamp wrote yesterday on LinkedIn: “I'm delighted to have started today in my new role at History Today and am looking forward to working with the brilliant team there.”
