Pump Industry’s Managing Editor, Lauren Cella, is leaving the publication after seven years in the role. Lauren has been the magazine’s longest serving editor, shaping the conversation and being instrumental in making Pump Industry the number one trusted source for pump news in Australia.
An experienced journalist and editor with a wide variety of news and B2B publishing experience across print, online and radio, Lauren quickly became interested in pumps and their different applications when she joined the team as a journalist in 2016, which led her to taking on the role of Editor.
It’s an understatement to say that Lauren has been the heart and soul of the magazine and she has provided high-quality technical content issue after issue, allowing readers to learn about the latest developments and sparking new ideas they can implement in their jobs. Lauren spearheaded some of Pump Industry’s most beneficial features including the Industry Capability Guide and annual State of the Industry survey.
Managing director of Pump Industry and its publisher, Monkey Media, Chris Bland, said Lauren will be greatly missed as she has been the backbone of Monkey Media for seven out of the company’s ten years.
“Monkey Media wouldn’t be the same company without Lauren – she will always be a vital and much loved part of the Monkey Media and Pump Industry story,” Chris said.
“She was the person we relied on to create client content when we knew it had to be the best, and her work on Pump Industry and relationships she had with the PIA and pump users around Australia has made the magazine the important resource it is today.
“However, we’re extremely happy for Lauren to be pursuing her dream job with the Department of Defence and wish her all the best for the future.”
While this edition of the magazine is Lauren’s last, we’re excited to welcome the new Pump Industry Editor, Katie Livingston, and look forward to seeing the direction Katie takes the magazine.
