Den of Geek editor in chief and founder Simon Brew stands down

In a tweet he stated: “I'm really, really sad to say that, eleven and a half years after I founded the site, I've handed to Den Of Geek UK my resignation as Editor In Chief. It's now in writing, and I'll be leaving the site in late October.”

He added that he was leaving with no job to go to but said that he was actively seeking a new role and highlighted that his direct messages on the platform were open for approach.

“I've loved working with some truly brilliant people, but will save my thank yous for when I finally go if that's okay,” he continued and said that he would continue to post using the @filmstoriespod account, which promotes his podcast.

“Couldn't be prouder of what we built, and the readers who support it. Hugs,” he added.

On a practical note, I've left without a job to go to, and would quite like one! If you have any work queries or things of interest, my DMs are open, and the brilliant Hedda – who is helping to find me things - is at hedda@hlagency.co.uk [2/3] — Simon Brew (@simonbrew) July 25, 2018

I've loved working with some truly brilliant people, but will save my thank yous for when I finally go if that's okay.

When I know what I'm doing next, I'll post at @filmstoriespod.

Thanks all. Couldn't be prouder of what we built, and the readers who support it. Hugs.
