New head for Radio Centre

Camelot chief executive Dianne Thompson is to become the non-executive chairman of the Radio Centre from 1 January, replacing Paul Brown who is stepping down after more than 30 years in the commercial radio business.

Thompson said she would use the role to enhance Radio Centre's reputation as "the voice of the industry". Radio Centre chief executive Andrew Harrison thanked Brown and said: "In more recent times, Radio Centre's stature within the sector reflects Paul's hard work, determination and wisdom."
