He takes over from James Graham, who has moved to BBC Radio 5 live at MediaCityUK, initially on a short-term contract.

Graham was part of TheBusinessDesk.com’s North West launch team in 2008, returning for a second stint in 2012.

Jackson worked on the Newsquest-owned Bolton News for around 30 years in total, latterly enjoying a 14-month spell as editor of the business section. Prior to that, he worked on the sports desk overseeing production of one of its other titles, The Bury Times.

He said: “I am already enjoying being part of a great team here. Manchester and the North West is a fertile ground for business news and activity and I am aiming to help TBD to continue to capitalise on that.”
