Finding her niche in healthcare journalism, she has worked on a range of consumer and trade titles, including as Staff Writer for Pharmacy Magazine and Assistant Editor of British Dental Journal.

On starting her new role, Liane said: “I’m excited about working with everyone in the industry and providing trade professionals with access to need-to-know news and insights, especially with the current Covid-19 challenges and the shifting retail landscape.”

Over the coming months, Liane will build up her knowledge and understanding of the sector as she gradually takes over as editor from Calvin Barnett, who will stay on as Editorial Director.

Liane is eager to build on THIIS Magazine’s long 21-year tradition of providing the latest news, views, products and jobs to the industry.

“The aim of THIIS has always been to inform, challenge and inspire, providing a vehicle for companies to get their message out to the marketplace,” she continued.

“The magazine, like the industry, has evolved successfully ever since – most recently under the reins of Calvin Barnett. I’m looking forward to playing a part in the magazine’s continuing success.”

Calvin Barnett, Editorial Director of THIIS Magazine, commented: “Liane is a great addition to our team, bringing a tremendous amount of experience and expertise to THIIS and to the sector.

“Over recent years, THIIS has developed and evolved and is now reaching more industry professionals than ever before. Our focus is always to provide business leaders with timely and important content that respects their intelligence and time. I am confident Liane will continue this focus and take the title to the next level.”
