This month, we say a heartfelt thank you and farewell to our editor, Pat Riddell, who leaves after an incredible 25 years at APL Media. 

As editor of National Geographic Traveller (UK) since its launch in late 2010, he’s been instrumental in shaping the magazine, turning it into the inspiring, award-winning publication it is today. His passion for storytelling and unwavering commitment to the brand have left a lasting legacy, building on earlier work as editor of travel trade title ABTA Magazine.  

Known for his extensive industry knowledge, Pat enjoys an unparalleled reputation among his peers and will continue to represent the brand as editor-at-large. 

We’re hugely grateful for everything he’s contributed over the years and he’ll be greatly missed by all the team.
