Crystal Chesters has joined BNC Publishing as editor of Catering News Middle East.
Previously the editor of Hotelier Middle East and a Dubai-based digital travel media start-up, Crystal is tasked with driving a strong editorial strategy for the magazine, while ramping up its readership and driving growth.
“I’m delighted to join the team at BNC Publishing, where I will have an opportunity to really shape the agenda for Catering News Middle East and have a key role in driving its future success,” she said.
“I have been in Dubai now for two years and have gained an excellent insight into the region’s media marketplace, and its vibrant, fast-growing hospitality industry. I feel I am very well placed to make a valuable contribution to the team at BNC, and I’m very excited about the opportunities ahead.”
Crystal joins Catering News Middle East as the magazine celebrates its first anniversary and takes on the role of official media partner and conference producer for the Gulfood exhibition. The title also plans to launch its inaugural awards this year to recognise the region’s leading F&B talent.
