Simon Anderson says: “I’ve been keenly watching Ticker’s journey progress over the past two years and I’m absolutely thrilled to be leading the expansion into London and Europe for Ticker News, it’s a great honour. This opportunity to work for a business that is so fresh and rapidly growing could not be more exciting”.
As the second international expansion, London will become Ticker’s first European base. With offices situated in the heart of the city, bringing exclusive interviews and live coverage on breaking news.
