A daily newspaper has announced an expansion of its business coverage in print and online.

The Herald is launching a daily Business Voices commentary page, which will feature articles from staff writers and a range of senior figures in the business world.

The Glasgow-based Herald is also introducing new weekly columns from business writers Scott Wright and Mark Williamson, as well as an extra weekly column from business editor Ian McConnell.

Business Voices will focus on topics of importance to sectors including oil and gas, financial services, tourism, food and drink, technology and retail.

Ian, pictured, said in a message to readers: “This is an exciting development as The Herald expands its business coverage, harnessing the expertise and sector specialisms of our staff writers.

“Business Voices will feature insight from senior figures in the business community, and those running the firms that are creating economic wealth and providing valuable employment.

“I hope you enjoy our expanded section.”
