Her track record of developing our food and wellbeing brands, and most recently our websites, has been outstanding, and we can’t wait to see how much more she can achieve with a bigger remit.”

Sally concluded, “I’m honoured to be taking on the role of Deputy Managing Director. Anthem prides itself on being a nurturing environment for both its brands and its staff, and I can certainly attest to that. Jon and Simon (and Paul) have been incredible mentors, helping me to learn and grow whilst giving me the space and freedom to explore my potential.

“This is a really exciting next step for me, helping to shape the future of Anthem and make sure we’re leading the way in independent publishing for many years to come.”
