Steve Hall, Managing Director, Derby Telegraph Media group said: “I am delighted to be adding such an experienced commercial operator to an already talented advertising team. Richard has an impressive history of leadership and achievement in regional newspapers but can also boast a successful track record in digital, events and B2B – areas that we see as important drivers of growth for our business over the next few years.”
Richard Carey added: “I’ve heard great things about the team in Derby and I’m really looking forward to re-joining the Northcliffe stable.”
Richard joins the team on September 17.
