Bdaily makes strong start to the year with key editorial appointments

Bdaily, the regional SME news provider, has strengthened its editorial team promoting North East Editor Jamie Hardesty to Editor of the site, whilst adding Billy Wood to the team as a Content Editor.

On top of North East editorial duties, Jamie will manage and moderate the quality of regional content across Bdaily’s site and bulletins, whilst supporting the development of the team.

Billy will work at the company’s Newcastle headquarters, developing the firm’s London and South East expansion, as well as promoting user driven content through the site’s self publishing platform.

Billy joins Bdaily following a period of consistent development, as the company continues to disrupt the established order of regional business news.

Earlier this month, Bdaily launched its new Premium Membership option, giving users a chance to take advantage of the firm’s extended commercial offering.

Jamie, who joined Bdaily in September 2014, said: “Bdaily is a unique business, having both the flexibility and confidence to bring about positive change to the media industry through the power of digital.

“The growth we’ve seen over the past year and a half, especially in the surge in our bulletin subscribers, demonstrates the value we’re bringing to a retained regional readership.

“We’re a highly motivated and ambitious team, I’m really looking forward to raising Bdaily’s profile further in 2016 and beyond.”

Commenting on his appointment, Billy said: “I can’t wait to flex my journalistic muscles with Bdaily and help foster our burgeoning community of member’s contributions from small businesses and regional movers and shakers.

“It’s an exciting time in London and the South East too, so I’m looking forward to developing my role in the team over the coming months and years.”

Sarah Callender, Managing director at Bdaily, added: “We are delighted to have such a talented editorial team in place as we embark upon another exciting year here at Bdaily.

“We’ve made a strong start to 2016 already, adding a plethora of new businesses working with Bdaily to our already existing engaged readers and clients.

“We’re proud of doing things differently here, acting as both a new site and a marketing solutions provider. Not only does Bdaily act as the vehicle to raise the profiles of regional enterprise, we help businesses stand out.”
