Congratulations to our New Master for 2025 – Doug Wills

We are delighted to announce that Doug Wills has been elected as the new Master of the Stationers’ Company for 2025.

Doug brings a wealth of experience and leadership from a distinguished career in journalism. As Editor Emeritus of the London Standard and The Independent and former Group Managing Editor of the Evening Standard, Doug has made an indelible mark on British media.

A long-standing Stationer since 2012, Doug has been a passionate advocate for editorial training and inclusion. He spearheaded the Editorial Diversity Apprenticeship Scheme, a collaboration between the London Standard and our Company, which continues to change lives and shape the future of journalism.

Doug is also a committed Rotarian and a dedicated supporter of the Stationers’ Foundation bursary programme for aspiring journalists.

We warmly welcome Doug and his consort, Elisabeth Reyes, to this new chapter in our Company’s history.

Here’s to a year of inspiration, innovation, and leadership!
