Nik Stuart has been appointed general manager for the SCA Mackay market.

SCA executive general manager Queensland, Ken Wood, announced the new appointment.

In his new remit, Stuart will lead the SCA Mackay team, including Triple M 98.7 Mackay/The Whitsundays and Hit 100.3 Mackay/The Whitsundays.

Ken Wood said, “We are excited to welcome Nik to the Queensland Leadership Team and the Mackay leadership role, and he brings a wealth of experience to our market.”

Stuart has gained extensive experience during his 12 years with SCA, ranging from promotions, to breakfast announcer and more recently as content director for the Darling Downs market in Southern Queensland.

Commenting on his new role, Stuart said: “I began my journey with SCA in 2010 on the street team in Brisbane. I remember sitting in reception before my interview being completely overwhelmed by how fun the building felt.

"In the 12 years since then I have had the privilege of working in five offices across Queensland in nearly every role you can do, and I have never lost that sense of fun. I can’t wait to join the Mackay team and continue to drive amazing results for our community and clients.”

In 2020, Stuart was a part of Hit Daring Downs's Nik & Beth breakfast show.

Stuart’s new role is effective immediately.
