THE former Scotsman business correspondent, Peter Ranscombe, has been appointed editor of the glossy business magazine, BQ Scotland.
He succeeds Kenny Kemp who – as noted here on allmediascotland.com – is stepping down as founding editor, following five years with the title.
Paying tribute to Kemp, Alastair MacColl, chief executive of the magazine’s publishers, BE Group, said: “Kenny has been a fantastic editor of BQ Scotland.
“He has been instrumental in making sure that as a title it has an unrivalled and well deserved reputation for high-quality content, originality and an uniquely strong business readership.
“I know Peter will bring the same creativity and conviction to the role.”
The story was teased yesterday – here – by the website, Daily Business.
After leaving The Scotsman in January last year, Peter enjoyed a spell as senior staff writer at Scottish Field magazine, and has also worked for, among others, The Press and Journal and the Sunday Herald newspapers.
He is also the author of a debut novel, Hare.
