Nov 9 (Reuters) - British publisher National World
NWOR.L said on Thursday that Sheree Manning has been appointed
as its chief financial officer with immediate effect.
Manning had been serving as acting finance director since
September last year, said National World, which owns regional
titles including the Scotsman and the Yorkshire Post.
Founded by British newspaper veteran David Montgomery,
London-listed National World, in August, confirmed its interest
in buying the Telegraph group.
Last year, National World had scrapped plans to make a cash
offer for Reach Plc RCH.L , the British publisher behind the
Daily Mirror and Sunday Mirror newspapers.
