Following the UK Competition and Markets Authority’s approval of the proposed combination of News UK and DMG’s printing operations, Tracey Hart has been appointed to the newly created role of director of retail and wholesale for News UK.
Hart will report to News UK’s EVP chief operating officer David Dinsmore, and will support News UK’s printing operations as they transition into a new company created to run the combined print and primary distribution operations of both media companies. Previously, Hart has held roles at Polaroid UK and DMGT, and has worked at News UK for almost 10 years.
Hart says: “I’m thrilled to step into this new role as Director of Retail and Wholesale. Having worked in the retail industry for over 18 years, I’ve seen the sector shift and evolve but we do have some new challenges ahead and I look forward to driving our retail strategy. Our new joint venture alongside DMG is a testament to the exciting future of the industry, and I am pleased to work with retailers across the country as News UK embarks on the next step of its retail journey.”
