Kick-Start Publishing has great pleasure in announcing Alex McCarthy will re-join the publishing house as the new editor of Tile and Stone Journal (TSJ).

Alex, who previously worked as deputy editor on the Contract Flooring Journal (CFJ) at Kick-Start and who will start on Monday 30 May, replaces Joe Simpson.

‘We’re absolutely delighted about Alex returning to the fold, particularly as he already knows the team, and has had several years’ experience in the flooring and tiling industry,’ said Stuart Bourne, managing director of Kick-Start. ‘We’d also like to wish Joe the very best for his future and thank him for the commitment and expertise he’s exhibited during his time on TSJ.
