Hi and welcome to my blog! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting and do come back.
Today is my last day working at Financial Mail and I can now announce that I am starting a new job at M&G Online on the 19th of May.
My official job title is business manager: mobile and recruitment. But I am sure that more regarding my actual day to day activities will come out as soon as I move in and get involved in the team.
Working with Matt and Vince is definitely going to be one of the great things about my new position. The job is innovative and in a market that is about to burst and is still fairly unconquered in the media sphere.
Obviously moving in to a new market and media house is a big leap for me and one that I am cautiously approaching (with some level of excitement). There are some nerves which should be expected but overall I can’t wait to sink my teeth in to the challenge.
Financial Mail was a phenomenal place to work and to gain some extremely valuable knowledge and experience. The people were sterling and I learned more than I thought I could in a year. But for my career, my brand and the moves I’m trying to make in the industry this is definitely the right move for me at the perfect time.
Things are hotting up in SA, the market is about to explode and I am itching to bury myself in it.
Awesome news Nic! Congrats!
I’m sure working with Matthew and Vince is going to be one roller coaster ride. Have fun!
Great news Nic - I wish you all the best and I’m sure it’ll be an awesome experience for you!
Ah, the big announcement, and it is big. Congratulations on taking the leap, trust you will enjoy the new challenges and being stretched a bit.
Sounds like a very good way to position yourself for the anticipated growth in the market too, wish you all the best in it Nic!

Nice one Nic, looking forward to seeing you stir things up there.
Thanks everyone!
Fred - looking forward to getting a big teaspoon!
Congratz - you’re doing great and that’s now surprise to me, because you’re a gifted person. Keep riding that wave.
Excellent news, Harry! Very happy that you’re even deeper (and higher) in the mix now. Look forward to seeing you at all kinds of events, conferences, awards and general internetty new media-ish type things. All the best!
Nic..All the best man..it was a pleasure to work with you for the past 4months i have known you!! Take it by storm (M&G that is)..and dont forget to check me out on cyberspace, http://www.frecklethejourno.blogspot.com and molefem@thetimes.co.za
Is it true that you got fired from Financial Mail because you reported on that fake story by Sheena Gates?

Wesley I’m not even going to dignify such rubbish with an answer.
Nice one - good luck. If you’re a squash player, please get Mr Buckland onto the court for a bit of practice before I take him on again
Graeme you know what, I am a squash player (occasionally!!) so maybe Matt can teach me, he can practice and we can get it going!!
Thanks for luck!!
the team is getting EVEN stronger
have a blast Nic & best of luck with the new position

Thanks Eric! Much appreciated. Hope we’ll c you soon somewhere up here in JHB!
@Nic - I just read Wesley’s comment and thrown a pumpkin at him mentally and then ignored it.
Nic Harry. You are amazing. I am so damn proud of you. You will rock this gig. You Go Boy!

Going from FM Campus editor to Business manager: mobile and recruitment sounds a bit like a step down for you. Is it?
Nothing in that new title suggests that you will be working as a journalist. Will you be writing for M&G online or not?
Hey Dieter, no I wont be doing any writing. I’m moving out of journalism as a definitive industry and moving in to strategising and business management.
Nic, I think if you promise Vincent and Matt that you won’t publish another of Sheena’s fake stories, they’ll consider giving you another shot at writing.
Nic well done, Boyo! I couldn’t think of a better employee than you for M&G.
Hi Nic, well done!!! Know you are going to be great in the new job. Rise to the challenge and enjoy. Awesome!!
Hey Anton! Thanks alot man. Will definitely have a big challenge to rise to so I am very keen!
