Welsh Housing Quarterly is looking for a new editor to take the helm of the magazine from next year.
WHQ is the only independent housing and regeneration digital magazine for and about Wales. It is, as the name implies, a quarterly publication. The last issue, published in October 2025, was issue 139, so it is now in its 35th year.
In addition to the published magazine, WHQ has a website, which has been operating since 2005.
WHQ is produced and administered by the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) Cymru and is financially supported by sponsors, advertisers, subscribers and Welsh Government grant. Production and development of the magazine is guided by an independent Advisory Board.
With incisive analysis, clear reporting and informed editorial, WHQ is the place to keep up to date with what is going on in housing and regeneration in Wales. It is essential reading for policy makers and practitioners alike.
WHQ has had only three editors throughout its history, Angela Evans, Tamsin Stirling, and currently Jules Birch. Jules will be stepping down in April 2026 year after issue 141 is published, and the Welsh Housing Quarterly Advisory Board is now seeking a new editor. Ideally the person appointed will be able to shadow Jules in the production of issue 141 before taking up the position. The person appointed will be responsible for all aspects of the preparation and production of the magazine, including the management of the website.
This is an exciting time to take over the editorial role as Wales, WHQ has moved to a fully digital approach with an online magazine. But there will be opportunities for the new editor to further develop the website offering to augment the online magazine, and WHQ is currently seeking additional funding to take that forward.
