UK record label trade body the BPI has announced the appointment of a new Director Of Communications to take over from Matt Phillips who moved to the BBC earlier this year. And the new Comms man is Adam Liversage, currently Head Of Corporate Media Relations at BT - so a man from the evil telecommunications sector, that's interesting. Though, we should note, he was previously PR Manager for Universal Music, so he knows the music biz too.
Confirming the appointment, BPI boss Geoff Taylor said this: "We are delighted that Adam is joining us and he is a very strong addition to the BPI team. I have no doubt that he will make a great contribution to the BPI's task of explaining the role of music companies in the digital age, and help us communicate our members' position on key issues facing the music business".
