New Executive Board chair at PRS
By Chris Cooke | Published on Wednesday 19 November 2014
The UK music publishing sector’s collecting society PRS For Music has announced the appointment of Stephen Davidson to chair its Executive Board, and also to lead its licensing and nomination-remuneration committees. Davidson replaces Peter Bamford, who stood down from his external director role at PRS last month after six years with the society.
Confirming the appointment, PRS CEO Robert Ashcroft told reporters: “Stephen’s experience at the helm of so many global companies positioned him ideally for the role of Chairman of our Executive Board. The breadth of his knowledge, particularly of media and telecoms, perfectly equips him to help to drive our business forward and I am delighted to welcome him to PRS For Music”.
