The UK record industry’s collecting society PPL has announced the promotion of Financial Controller Christian Barton to the role of Finance Director. Barton will replace current CFO Ben Lambert, who is due to leave the company next week.
The rights body’s CEO Peter Leathem said: “Christian has been working under Ben for nine years and so is very experienced in PPL’s operations and finances. Christian has been a star performer at PPL for some time and, as succession planning is something on which I have been very focussed, I am delighted that we are able to promote from within and offer him this career progression with the opportunity now arising”.
Barton himself added: “I’m delighted to have the opportunity to take on the Finance Director role at PPL. I have had a wonderful time at the company and want to thank Ben from whom I have learnt a great deal. I very much look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead as we look to enhance yet further the value and service to our members”.
