Leaving the mag, though joining the masthead as a contributing editor, is David Scullion, who has done pretty much every job at The Critic, and without whom we'd not be here today. Our new managing editor is Yen Leung, who'll also lead for us on events.

We're delighted that from the February print issue on we'll have two new columnists in the back of the book. Rufus Bird, art advisor at Gurr Johns & former Surveyor of the Queen’s works of art will write Art House. And our online editor Ben Sixsmith will become our podcast critic
