André de Raaff, the CEO of the young but already significant independent music publisher Imagem Music, has announced the appointment of John Minch as CEO of Imagem Music UK. Minch currently leads classical publisher Boosey & Hawkes, which Imagem acquired last year. He will continue to oversee the classical division on a worldwide basis.
De Raaff said this: "I have only known John for just over a year, from the time when we purchased Boosey & Hawkes. I've been impressed from the first day with John's vision as to how to make our catalogues, writers and companies more successful and also to look for non-traditional ways of managing our businesses and people. I'm convinced that the success John and his team have created for Boosey & Hawkes will be applicable for all activities of Imagem UK now and in the future, and I'm convinced that he will contribute towards the further growth of our worldwide group as well".
