B&T has strengthened its editorial team with the appointment of a new news editor.

Andrew Jennings (pictured), originally from Dublin but living and working in Sydney for the past two years, begins in the position with immediate effect and will lead B&T’s online news coverage.  

He will take responsibility for B&T’s fast-paced news website, working in conjunction with editor Alex Hayes and the rest of the B&T team.

Over the last ten years Jennings has garnered a wealth of news reporting experience, working in a wide range of editorial roles across several different titles, and joins from Lawyers Weekly where he worked as senior journalist for the last 12 months, leading news coverage on the publication's website.

Jennings previously worked for three years as deputy editor of the Kildare Post in Ireland, while he also spent a year working as desk editor at the Phuket Gazette in Thailand.

"I’m delighted to be joining the B&T team and excited to lead the news coverage for Australia’s leading authority for the advertising, marketing, media and PR industries,” he said.

Hayes added: "We really please to have Andrew on board. He's got a proven track record of journalism excellence in Europe and Australia, and is a fantastic addition to the team."
