In a reorganisation by Evelyn Webster, CEO of IPC Media, taking effect in January 2010, IPC will be organised around three audience groups of men, mass-market women and up-market women.
IPC will ditch the divisional names IPC TX and IPC Ignite and has launched a period of consultation with affected staff.
IPC Inspire will be the men's division, comprising leisure pursuits, men's lifestyle and music brands, headed by managing director Paul Williams.
IPC Connect will be the mass-market women's division, comprising women's weeklies, the goodtoknow network and the TV entertainment brands, headed by managing director Fiona Dent.
IPC Southbank, the up-market women's division, will continue to comprise the fashion, beauty and home interest brands, headed by managing director Jackie Newcombe.
Charlie Meredith, previously managing director of IPC TX, is appointed to a newly created board role of managing director of Central Operations.
