Angling International boosts its news service

Angling International will be improving its news service to the trade following the addition of Anthony Hawkswell to the editorial team. Anthony, an experienced news journalist and business magazine editor, takes up the newly-created role of Assistant Editor and will work alongside Editor Mel Bagnall at the magazine’s UK offices.

Says Angling International co-owner and Editorial Director Rob Carter: “This is a significant appointment. We believe we have the best editor in trade publishing in Mel Bagnall, who has ensured that Angling International consistently delivers fair and accurate news content. Now, by adding Anthony to the team, we will be able to cover more stories from more companies, and in more depth.

“In the three years since its launch, Angling International has earned a reputation for the high quality of its journalism. We feel we have earned the trust of the angling trade, now we want to repay that trust by improving our monthly news coverage still further. Anthony’s appointment will ensure that happens.”

Anthony’s arrival coincides with the appointment of Stuart Pavlik as Angling International’s new US National Sales Manager. Stuart, who is based in offices in North Palm Beach, Florida, is responsible for managing the accounts of the magazine’s current US and Canadian customers and for introducing new advertisers to the magazine and new marketing opportunities.

International Commercial Director Lucie Henton will continue to manage the accounts of all advertisers outside North America.

Added Rob Carter: “We are committed to improving our service to angling businesses all over the world through a combination of advertising opportunities and editorial support. Stuart will be the first point of contact for our growing number of US and Canadian customers and Lucie will continue to offer excellent customer service to our advertisers in Europe, Asia and Australasia.

“These advertisers – both old and new – will now be able to take advantage of the improved service provided by our editorial team. I urge all customers to make every effort to get in touch with news stories and details of new products.

“These new appointments mean Angling International has more capacity than ever to promote your business to the international trade.”
