IPC has promoted Jackie Hatton, formerly deputy editor of Woman’s Own, to the editor’s post at Woman, following the departure of Sarah Edwards in January.
Hatton started working at IPC in 1987, and has also worked on IPC monthly title Woman & Home.
Former Reveal editor Edwards quit Woman after just four months in the post, following disagreements over the future of the title. She had left Reveal to find a role at a more family-focused magazine.
Hatton said: "I’m delighted to be joining Woman and look forward to working with the team to truly release the potential of this fabulous household name.
