The Mail on Sunday has appointed the former Independent on Sunday editor Tristan Davies as co-deputy editor, along with Tobyn Andreae, currently assistant editor at the title’s stablemate the Daily Mail.
Staff were informed via a note from Mail on Sunday editor Geordie Greig. The changes will take effect from the week beginning 5 September.
The pair replace Gerard Greaves, who was poached by Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre to replace his long-serving deputy Jon Steafel.
Davies was already serving as assistant editor on the Mail on Sunday, having joined from the Sunday Times where he was executive editor with responsibility for design.
Andreae has held a number of senior roles at the Daily Mail, including executive features editor and editor of Femail, the paper’s women-focused section.
Staff were also informed that David Dillon and Tim Smith, both currently assistant editors, are being promoted to executive editor roles.
Earlier this year, Steafel, long seen as a potential successor to Dacre, was announced as group managing editor and publisher of Mail Plus, a new role which gives him oversight of the newspaper’s tablet edition.
