TeamRock MD Chris Ingham steps down
By Chris Cooke | Published on Tuesday 30 June 2015
The MD of rock music media firm TeamRock, Chris Ingham, is leaving the company, nearly two decades after first joining one of its flagship titles Metal Hammer.
Ingham first joined the metal mag, then owned by Dennis Publishing, in 1996, and held various commercial and editorial roles over the years, as well as helping launch sister title Classic Rock. After the magazines were acquired by Future, in 2004 he took the role of Publisher for all that company’s music titles, and subsequently launched the Prog and Blues magazines and a number of award events. He then became MD of TeamRock when it acquired Future’s rock portfolio to run alongside its other online and radio-based operations.
Confirming he was now departing the company, Ingham told reporters: “In every day work most people don’t get the chance to let their _imaginations run riot. I’ve been one of the lucky ones by having the opportunity to do just that over 20 years. There have been some incredible times, some stunning achievements and I’ve shared moments with the most committed and passionate people in rock music media. But now it’s time to move to a fresh canvas. I wish my long time colleagues well in their endeavours”.
TeamRock CEO Billy Anderson added: “Chris Ingham has decided to move on to the next phase in his career after a successful and inspiring 20 years, mostly with Future publishing but lately, with ourselves. We wish him well”.
