Barney Cox (L) shakes the hand of managing director, Rob Mulligan

Whitmar Publications has announced that Barney Cox is set to become the new editor of Digital Printer, taking over from Andy Knaggs.

Mr Cox has two decades of experience covering the printing industry including 12 years at PrintWeek, where he was latterly executive editor. He also spent two years as a senior consultant at InfoTrends, a global consultancy specialising in printing and imaging and for the last three years has been a freelance writer and consultant. 

Managing director, Rob Mulligan, said, ‘Sadly, Andy Knaggs has decided to end his role as editor of Digital Printer. Andy has been with the company for six years with the last three as editor of Digital Printer.  In that time he has taken the magazine to a completely new level.  I would like to thank him for his considerable efforts. Now, I am looking forward to seeing where the magazine can be taken under Barney’s guidance.’

Mr Cox will officially join the company on 1 February and will work with Mr Knaggs on a handover during the production of the February and March issues. 

Mr Knaggs’ last day will be the 4 March. For all editorial enquiries from the March issue forward please contact Mr Cox on 07802 485429 or barney.c@whitmar.co.uk.
