PUBLIC SECTOR: Kings College finds comms director

Barry Morgan, external relations director at Kings College London, has brought in Chris Coe as communications director, ending a five-month search to fill the position. Coe will oversee a department of eight, with half in PR and the rest in publications. He will report to Morgan, with a brief to promote the college to potential students and raise its profile with Government and potential employers. The previous communications director stepped aside in May to work part-time.
