2entertain boss stands down
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 21 September 2009
The boss of 2entertain, the entertainment company owned by Woolworths and BBC Worldwide, has announced he is stepping down. 2entertain, which has DVD and production arms and also owns Demon Records, managed to survive the collapse of the Woolies empire more or less unscathed, with the Beeb’s commercial division announcing quite quickly that it would buy the defunct former retailer out of the business.
Nevertheless, CEO Richard Green, who also held a post at Woolworth’s eUK business, has announced he is departing the company. Music Week quote him thus: “I have been fortunate to work with many talented people and I would like to thank all my colleagues past and present for their support and commitment. These decisions are never easy, but as 2entertain prepares for its next cycle of development, the time was right for me to look for new challenges and adventures”.
