INTERNATIONAL. The Moodie Davitt Report has appointed highly regarded travel, tourism, luxury and retail journalist Hannah Lewis as Managing Editor, effective 20 August.
Hannah is well-versed in the travel and travel retail sectors. She has been Features Editor for SHOP Magazine/GlobalBlue.com since 2015. Before that she was News Editor for the same titles.
Global Blue operates tax free shopping and communication services in 52 countries and is the global leader in its field.
In her time at Global Blue, Hannah has overseen each section of print publication SHOP Magazine, from the fashion and beauty pages to the lifestyle section, to her current role as editor of the full-length features. SHOP publishes editions in major cities around the world, with destination-specific content in each issue that highlights new and unique attractions of a city, focusing primarily on fashion retail.
“We are excited to have someone of Hannah’s calibre join our team at a pivotal time for the company,” said The Moodie Davitt Report Founder & Chairman Martin Moodie.
“We are embarking on a period of fresh investment across our digital media footprint, enhancing our print offer, boosting our events, launching a data analytics business and much else besides. To deliver the requisite quality those projects demand, we need managers of the highest calibre. Hannah’s appointment, which follows Michael Barrett being named as Conferences and Corporate Social Responsibility Director, underlines our willingness to invest in top talent and the creative development of our market-leading portfolio.”
“Hannah has a particular interest in the key sectors of fashion, luxury and beauty. She is also well used to producing high-class and accurate copy to tight deadlines, and to juggling various projects at one time – a skill not uncalled for at The Moodie Davitt Report.”
Hannah has a MA in Fashion Journalism from London College of Fashion, University of the Arts London; and a BA (hons) in English Literature from Brasenose College, University of Oxford.
