The long-standing travel editor of the Mail on Sunday, Frank Barrett, has left the newspaper after almost 25 years.
His last day at the title, where he ran the travel desk since 1994, was on Thursday.
New editor Ted Verity, former deputy editor of the Daily Mail, told trade magazine Press Gazette: “Frank is one of the big voices of the travel scene. He has been a brilliant contributor to the Mail on Sunday over the past nearly 25 years.
“We wish him well wherever his travel take him next.”
Barrett said he plans to do more writing and develop a “radical new travel concept for Twitter”, which he hopes to launch later this year.
Barrett was previously travel editor at the Independent at its launch in 1986 and was editor of Business Traveller magazine.
