Navy News Online today bids farewell to webmaster Stuart Christmas, who is moving on to further education.

Stuart joined the online arm of the Royal Navy’s newspaper in March 1999, and has seen the site grow from modest proportions to a multi-award winning resource used by thousands of people every month.

Current New Media Developer Allison Tupper takes over from Stuart on Monday, as he prepares to study Business Management at the Greenwich School of Management in London.

Scott Seymour has joined Navy News Online and will take over from Allison.
