From Roger Adshead, Publisher, World Highways: As part of a programme to extend the editorial service offered by World Highways and other Route One Publishing titles, Alan Peterson has been appointed Editorial Director. In this position he will play a key role in plans to add value to the existing editorial coverage and identify new areas for expansion. He and Deputy Editor Patrick Smith will be working closely with new Editor, Mike Woof, an experienced international off-highway equipment journalist and formerly Editor of World Mining Equipment. The changes take effect immediately.
“My eight years in the Editor’s chair has been immensely enjoyable as well as challenging. Now is the time to turn over day-to-day management to someone who has the credentials and experience to take the magazine into a new chapter in its history,” said Peterson.
Mike Woof said, “I am having to relearn a lot of ground I’ve covered before and learning new subjects, so working closely with Alan and Pat allows me to benefit from their experience.” He can be contacted at mwoof@ropl.com.
