Jenny Pillay, international development manager for IPC Southbank subsidiary Marketforce, has been appointed by the firm to act as publisher for Style at Home magazine.

Style at home was launched last year to target the value end of the home interest market, debuting in the Jan-Jun 2011 market with an ABC of 52,576.

Yvonne Ramsden, publishing director of Southbank's home interest group, says: "I have worked with Jenny for many years during her time at Marketforce and I've always admired her energy, drive and commitment so I'm thrilled that she will be joining my team as publisher of Style At Home.

“It's crucial in this competitive market that we continue to evolve our publishing strategies and I know that Jenny's wealth of skills will strengthen our position further."

Pillay will assume her new role in March.
