Radiocentre has announced the appointment of Jennie Stubbs as its new Head of Learning & Development, bringing more than 25 years of radio industry experience to the role.

Jennie will lead Radiocentre’s learning and development programmes, which help brands and agencies understand the effectiveness and creative potential of radio and audio advertising.

At Global, she led high-profile partnerships such as the first Heart Network Breakfast sponsorship with Sky and the company’s commercial relationship with Apple Music. Jennie left Global at the end of last year.

Judith’s work has been credited with setting the benchmark for learning within the commercial radio industry.
Radiocentre’s Client Director Lucy Barrett says: “We are delighted to welcome Jennie to Radiocentre. Her wealth of experience and insight into the needs of brands and agencies make her perfectly placed to evolve our training programme and champion the power of audio for advertisers.
“I also want to pay tribute to the outstanding work Judith has done. Her training programme is embedded with agencies and brands and is much admired and valued by our members so we will all miss her.”
Jennie adds: “I’m really excited to be joining Radiocentre. Radio has always been a huge passion of mine, so having the chance to share that enthusiasm and help inspire the radio and audio advocates of the future is the dream role for me. I can’t wait to start making an impact.”

Martin Geissler, presenter of Scotcast, and Laura Maciver, senior presenter on Reporting Scotland: News at Seven will host the new show while BBC Radio Scotland’s Phil Goodlad will present the sports news.
Radio Scotland Breakfast, which will air Monday to Friday, 6am to 9am from 24th November, will continue the tradition of trusted journalism established by Good Morning Scotland.
Martin Geissler will remain host of Scotcast, BBC Scotland’s current affairs podcast available on BBC Sounds, TV, radio, and iPlayer.
Meanwhile, current Good Morning Scotland presenters Gary Robertson and Laura Maxwell are moving into new roles.
Gary will replace Martin as presenter of The Sunday Show on BBC One Scotland and BBC Radio Scotland, while Laura Maxwell will co-present Drivetime with Fiona Stalker and continue to present Lunchtime Live.
Howard Simpson, Head of News and Current Affairs at BBC Scotland, said: “The launch of Breakfast marks a new chapter in BBC Radio Scotland’s morning news service.
“The programme will have the journalistic rigour and depth our listeners expect, with Martin and Laura bringing their distinctive energy, insight, and warmth.”
Martin Geissler said: “I can’t wait to get started. I love the intimacy of radio and the space to really drill down into interviews.”
Laura Maciver added: “We want to bring clarity, pace, and personality to the new show, with hopefully a few smiles along the way too.”
