New publisher for BMJ

Builders Merchants Journal and buildersmerchantsjournal.net are to have a new publisher: Jan Thorpe is taking over from Colin Petty
Colin Petty has decided that after nearly 44 years as a journalist, editor and publisher, it’s time for a change of pace. Effective today, June 15, he is relinquishing his role as publisher of the home improvement division at Faversham House after 11 years in the job, and moving to a new part-time role as special projects consultant to the division.

His new role will enable him to focus on developing new projects and supporting the BMJ editorial and sales teams.
