Kevin Costello, chief executive of Haymarket Media Group, is the new chairman of the magazine industry's trade body, the Professional Publishers Association (PPA). He replaces the former Hachette UK chairman Kevin Hand.
Costello, who will have the chair for two years, said he was "excited" to take the post at a "pivotal time as the industry continues to rise to the challenges presented by an increasingly digital economy."
He will work alongside the PPA's chief executive, Barry McIlheney.
