Recorded music royalties body PPL has announced the appointment of Laurence Oxenbury to the new role of Head Of International. In the new role Oxenbury will be responsible for developing relationships between PPL and its equivalent societies around the world, as well as coordinating the collection of royalty revenues from overseas.
Confirming the appointment, PPL boss Fran Nevrkla told reporters: "I'm delighted to have Laurence on board with us in this important new role. The collection of international license revenues has become increasingly important - last year we grew our international revenue collection 42% from the previous year but there is still a lot of work to do in this area and Laurence is without doubt the best person to take that forward".
