Bauer Media has announced a rejig of the management team at its UK radio and audio business which will see a number of executives departing the company. That includes COO Graham Bryce and Chief Strategic Partnerships & Events Officer Steve Parkinson, plus its MD for Northern Ireland David Tighe.
The rejig follows the departure earlier this year of Dee Ford, who previously led Bauer's UK audio business, and who was succeeded by Simon Myciunka.
There was also a change at the top of Bauer's audio business in Europe, with former President Richard Dawkins announcing in September that he was standing down because of "differing ideas around the next phase of transformation" between him and Bauer Media Group CEO Yvonne Bauer.
Confirming the latest changes in the UK business, Myciunka says: “Graham and Steve have both made significant contributions to Bauer Media Audio UK and I would like to thank them for their creativity, expertise and commitment in making the business what it is today and wish them the very best for the future".
There was similar thanks for Tighe, with Myciunka stating that the firm’s Northern Irish audio business “has been transformed during David’s tenure".
Looking forward, Myciunka concludes: “We have the creative ambition to push boundaries. We are going to continue to be market-beating in traditional radio whilst, at the same time, innovating and building our capabilities in digital. To do this, we need to transform our business to ensure we are set up for the future".
