What's in a job title change you might ask? Well, normally a pay increase and new business cards. Either way, the MDs of the main UK Universal Music labels - Polydor, Mercury and Island - have all been rebranded as presidents of their respective divisions. So David Joseph and Colin Barlow are now co-Presidents of Polydor, Jason Iley is President of Mercury and Nick Gatfield is President of Island. Universal UK boss Lucian Grange said the promotions recognised each label chiefs' role in developing their respective business, adding that the new roles would enable them to further enhance their individual divisions and therefore the Universal Music Group as a whole.
