@Independent has gone from a money-losing prestigious newspaper to an all digital global news organization that has doubled its revenue and profit since 2019. These last five years as Chair has been the most satisfying of my career. Fantastic team.

My account was hacked last night. I have no way of knowing how many tweets were made but please ignore everything from the last few days. Thanks!

States of Independence: The @Independent is now the fastest growing UK news brand in the US. The publication is also the second fastest growing of all top 10 news brands in the US. independentadvertising.com/the-independen…

Media Week Awards 2023: The @Independent has been shortlisted for the coveted Media Brand of the Year prize. We're particularly proud to be the only news publisher to receive a nod. independentadvertising.com/the-independen…

The @independent hits UK audience top spot yet again! independentadvertising.com/the-independen…

A brilliant new era at the @Independent

#MESSAGEDESERVICE🔊 (bis) pr la #journeemondialedelasante #WorldHealthDay De la news mag santé/bien-être avec des sujets proposés par une équipe de journalistes entièrement issus des pays africains. @RaoulMbog à l'édition, me au #socialmedia & U! @PRwamigabo @jxpaton @olva8844

@PrawnOnTheLawn is being COMPLETELY unreasonable about us cancelling our booking due to #snow. We called before 9 am, as soon as I we knew we wouldn't make it 6 hours through the snow. Now you want to charge us a cancellation fee when every where else has been understanding.

Thanks to the #snow we can't make our fishy weekend away, but the customer service is so helpful and friendly @Rick_Stein hotel and cookery school, not only can we rebook, but I feel like I've had a Cornish hug through the telephone!

@Beltrew But so well deserved! Congrats.

Wow. So this was not expected. Thank you. Thank you.

First time to actually attend a press award as I’m actually in London. Slight change from my day job.

The amazing @Beltrew of the Independent named Foreign Journalist of the Year for coverage of the war in Ukraine. #indyproud @Independent

A couple of years ago I started a media company with some colleagues focused on health in French-speaking West Africa. Led by Editor @RaoulMbog the team at Sante en Afrique do terrific work like this video on clandestine clinics in Cameroon. santeenafrique.com/cameroun-la-ch…

Proud to work with 9 news bureaus around the world delivering nearly 11 billion views annually. The Indy is the 8th largest and fastest growing digital news brand in US, bigger than Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune and BuzzfeedNews.

The Indy is the No 1 ranking quality UK news brand outpacing Telegraph, Times and Guardian - latest IPSOS Iris data. Looking forward to leading the brilliant, independent and authoritative editorial team.

An exciting new era starts today at the @Independent

Just when I thought the tree might make it to actual #Christmas...silly naive Alexis. #CatsInTrees #CatsOnTwitter #ChristmasTrees massacre...

Very proud of @Independent 's @KimSengupta07 & @Beltrew's London Press Club nominations. Kim for Journalist of the Year for his coverage in Ukraine. Bel for Multi-Media Journalist of the Year for her coverage in Syria and Ukraine. Both very brave under harrowing conditions.

@rick_gibbons @SusanSherring Such sad news. Sue was integral to the Ottawa Sun's success. Our thoughts are with her family and with her colleagues who so respected her. RIP Sue.

Shocked to learn of @SusanSherring’s passing. A fellow Day One employee of the Ottawa Sun. A tenacious journalist who never forgave me for assigning her to City Hall where she thrived. Just awful news. RIP Sue.
