UK/INTERNATIONAL. The Moodie Davitt Report parent company Moodie International Ltd, one of the UK’s most successful multi-media business-to-business publishers and information providers, has moved to new offices effective from Friday 17 August.
The new address is:
Moodie International Limited
Great West House
Great West Road
Brentford
TW8 9DF
Note: Existing phone numbers and other contact information remain the same.
As reported, the move to larger premises reflects the company’s ambitious expansion plans, including a number of senior hirings and the launch of new products in coming months.
As reported, the company has hired Asia Pacific Travel Retail Association (APTRA) Executive Officer Michael Barrett as Events and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Director
Another key appointment sees Irene Revilla, former Global Head of Client Services (London) for WPP-owned Aviator/Kinetic, assume the new role of Publisher. In addition former SHOP Magazine/GlobalBlue.com Features Editor Hannah Lewis joins as Managing Editor. These appointments are effective from today, 20 August.
Recent product innovations include a relaunch of The Moodie Davitt e-Zine – ‘Travel Retail’s Lookbook’ – pioneering a new way of looking at the travel retail industry on an easy-to-read and powerful digital platform.
Moodie Insights, a new joint venture company formed at the beginning of 2018, is the latest addition to the Moodie Davitt family. It aims to bring a greater level of insight and informed decision-making to commercial leaders within the global travel retail and food & beverage sectors.
In events, The Moodie Davitt Report’s growing Airport Food & Beverage (FAB) Conference & Awards was recently held in Helsinki, while the airport commercial revenue sector’s most acclaimed conference, The Trinity Forum, is to take place in Shanghai, China, at the end of October.
“We are embarking on a period of fresh investment and expansion across our digital media footprint, enhancing our print offer, boosting our events, launching a data analytics business and much else besides,” said The Moodie Davitt Report Founder & Chairman Martin Moodie.
“In particular, I believe that our new e-Zine redefines travel retail publishing in the same way that our original pdf did way back in September 2002. The visual impact of the full-screen treatment combined with the ability to integrate audio and video and dynamic advertising is a game-changer for us, and we hope for the industry. And we’ve only just started to realise its power of possibility.”
