“The Guardian has an outstanding reputation for ground breaking journalism and innovative news products, making it one of the most exciting media brands in the world,” said Nicklin. “It’s a brand and an organisation that I have always admired and respected, so the opportunity to be part of that was simply too good to turn down and I am really excited to play a key role in its future.”
