In a report on its website, M&G chairman Peter Vundla said: "Roper will drive our digital-first strategy which has already seen strong growth in our mobile, online and tablet audiences.

"We are particularly thrilled that Angela has joined us. On the back of more than 20 years' experience, she brings with her editing experience from the Mercury and the Witness, as well as from other senior writing and editing positions she has held during her career."

Outgoing editor-in-chief Nic Dawes is taking up a position at the Hindustan Times in New Delhi.
