The wonderfully named Kip Meek, formerly Chief Policy Officer at media regulator OfCom, is joining previously reported commercial radio industry body RadioCentre as a non-executive director. He is also on the board of the much previously mentioned Ingenious Media, and is a non-executive chairman of the Broadband Stakeholder Group.
Confirming the appointment, RadioCentre top man Andrew Harrison told reporters: "I'm absolutely delighted that Kip has agreed to join us here at RadioCentre. Through his work at Ofcom, he has done an enormous amount of work with the radio sector and his knowledge will be invaluable to us".
You know I was thinking this weekend, I quite fancy being a non-executive director of some media quango. I can attend meetings and talk endlessly about any random media topic - which is what non-executive directors do, right? I could be the slightly edgy one on the board (ie the unshaven one that doesn't wear a suit). Any offers to the usual address.
