Sophie Dearden has also been promoted to fashion director of Britain’s best-read women’s magazine, taking over the position previously held by Shelly Vella.
Jackie Annesley, editor, YOU magazine, said: “I can’t wait to get these new appointments together in the office. Rosie, Sam and Sophie all make me laugh, which is a good place to start when it comes to producing a weekly magazine. They will add fresh energy to our digital and print platforms, where I hope our readers are entertained and informed in equal measure by creative covers, clever writing and fabulous photography.’
