Janice Tong, IDG consumer division publisher, said the company was “invested” in Halliday.

“We are excited to have Fergus on board, he’ll bring a fresh perspective to the brand. PC World has kept up with the times in the rapidly changing media landscape, and I think that having an original take on the array of products out there has put us in good stead,” Tong added.
