Digital Stores, who run recordstore.co.uk and power a load of other download and merchandise stores, have announced that Simon Coates has been promoted to the new position of Commercial Director. Coates, who joined Digital Stores from HMV in 2005, was previously Product Director for the etail firm.
Coates told CMU: "This is a great opportunity for me. The new commercial director role means I can really spread my wings at Digital Stores and fully explore all new revenue streams and e-commerce development areas. I've been working in online retail for over ten years now and it amazes me that there's still so much we can do. What we have now is just the start and I'm going to make sure we're right at the front of all innovation and development".
