TalkingDrinks.com appoints Claire Weekes as editor
She moves to the Nexus Business Media title from B2B Marketing magazine, where she was news and online editor.
Weekes joined B2B Marketing in May 2007 as news and features writer and previously worked for Mobile as a reporter.
In her new role she will be tasked with growing the revamped site, focusing in particular on its community features, Weekes told Journalism.co.uk.
"We want it to work like a social network – so I am encouraging people to set up user profiles, join the forums, upload their events to the site. We want the site to be where the industry comes to talk about drinks," said Weekes.
