Bustle will expand into the UK in May, with former Mashable sales executive Jack Gillespie and former Vanity Fair strategy editor Charlotte Owen leading operations. The company is also looking to hire a few more people for its editorial team, which includes editors from BuzzFeed, Business Insider, TechCrunch, and others. Now, there’s an opportunity to reach the U.K. market directly,” said Kate Ward, Bustle Digital Group’s editor-in-chief. It will appoint 10 employees in the UK and publish "a few dozen" articles each week before developing market-specific coverage and formats. Bustle's revenue grew 50% last year, according to Chief Revenue Officer Jason Wagenheim.
