TechRadar, Future’s consumer technology website, has announced the appointment of Desire Athow as Editor of TechRadar Pro – the dedicated channel providing IT news and insights for small and medium sized business.

Desire joins from ITProPortal where he served as Editor for nearly 8 years. Prior to that, he worked in his native Mauritius as a technology journalist in print, radio and online before a stint at computer hardware news site The Inquirer.

TechRadar Pro provides news, perspectives and reviews covering the key technologies and critical IT issues affecting SMBs today.

Desire says: “I am thrilled and excited to take on the challenge of guiding TechRadar Pro to new heights. I will be joining a team of award-winning journalists and the UK's largest technology website. I have been a massive fan of Future for nearly two decades and it is both an honour and a privilege to have been entrusted with such a great opportunity.”

Nick Merritt, Head of TechRadar, says: “It's been another great year for TechRadar and a successful first year for TechRadar Pro, so I'm really pleased Desire will be joining us to take Pro to the next stage of its growth. We have ambitious plans in place for the months ahead."

TechRadar attracts over 4 million UK unique users and over 20 million global unique users every month, says Future.
