The Independent and Independent on Sunday business desks are merging into a seven-day operation.

The business desk will be run by The Independent’s business editor, Jeremy Warner.

Margareta Pagano, the founder of Financial News, has been appointed the Independent on Sunday’s business editor and will report to Warner.

After former business editor, Andrew Murray-Watson’s departure, Simon Evans remained as the only staff business writer at the Sunday paper.
