Sara Thomas joins Place to support growth
Place Media Group has hired Sara Thomas from Property Week as commercial partnerships director to strengthen Place’s expanded events and marketing portfolio.
Sara Thomas, who spent 14 years at Property Week working across the UK, said: “Place sits at the centre of the conversations that drive regional development. I’m looking forward to working with partners in a more direct and meaningful way, helping them engage with the markets, people, and opportunities that are shaping growth across the regions.
“Place has built a strong network across development, planning and regeneration, and continues to play a central role in connecting the people and projects shaping regional growth.”
Established as a single publication for the North West in 2007, the expanded Place Media Group now has an audience of 400,000 monthly readers across four titles covering Midlands, North East, Yorkshire, and North West.
In her new role, Thomas will create commercial partnerships across all regions, working closely with clients and stakeholders to support the growth of Place’s online products, video, and events.
The appointment comes at a significant time for regional markets, with increasing investment and a growing focus on regeneration and placemaking across the UK.
Dino Moutsopoulos, managing partner, said: “I am very excited to welcome Sara Thomas to the Place team. Securing someone of Sara’s experience was real coup. With her 14 years of property media experience, we look forward to benefiting from her market understanding and strong network of senior contacts throughout the UK property market.
“I identified Sara as the best fit for our business some time ago and I’m so very pleased to have her finally join the organisation. To remain at the forefront of the property events and media world, one needs the best people, and we feel we’ve got one of the best in the UK in Sara.”
Thomas will work alongside Sean O’Connor, commercial partnerships director, in the commercial team with Moutsopoulos.
Place Media Group employs 15 people across news, events, multimedia, finance, and management.
