Based in Brighton, McKenna will report to Hugh Murray, Regional Managing Director of the Meridian region at Global Radio.

Hugh said: “Iain has achieved great things throughout his radio career and delivered outstanding results for the stations he has worked at. We’re looking forward to having him lead the Heart Sussex team.”

Iain told us: “I’m passionate about radio and thrilled to be working with an established and successful brand like Heart. It is a great opportunity to join Global Radio as a company and I am looking forward to joining the very successful team in Sussex.”
