ANM appoints Milner as new chief operating officer

Milner, who has been at the company for three years, will lead the commercial and marketing teams and oversee day-to-day operations. He will report directly to ANM managing director Andy Hart.

The company recently expanded its team by appointing Mary McGregor as sales director and Rob Cooke as marketing director. The two will report to Milner.

According to Hart: "ANM has experienced phenomenal commercial successes this year which we are looking to build on. Mark's promotion is thoroughly deserved and his wealth of experience in the print and digital commercial field will prove invaluable in his new role."

Milner brings a wealth of experience to the role after 15 years in publishing at Express Newspapers and Associated Newspapers. He will continue to work from the company's Charlotte Street offices.

"I am extremely excited about this new position which will encompass a much broader operational focus. Over the last three years, we have built up a strong, talented and successful commercial team and I am looking forward to working with them to drive our business forward," Milner said.
