The post-Bronfmann-Jnr-takeover restructure of the Warner Music Group hit the UK yesterday with the first job cut at the top level of the major's London office.
Warner division East West confirmed the position of General Manager, currently held by Gareth Currie, was to be cut, and that Currie would leave the company. The decision is part of the post-takeover rejig which will see East West rebranded as Atlantic Records, bringing it in line with the group's US structure.
Currie was the first key appointment made by East West boss Korda Marshall when he took over the running of the Warner division after the major acquired his previous employer, Mushroom Records UK.
