It’s Warner Music’s turn to run the BRIT Awards, it has been confirmed. Or, that is to say, Warner Music UK CEO Christian Tattersfield will take over as Chair of the BRITS Committee, Universal Music UK chief David Joseph having recently completed his tenure in the role, he having taken over from former Sony Music UK boss Ged Doherty in 2010.

Confirming his appointment, Tattersfield told reporters: “To lead the BRITs committee would be an honour at any time, but I feel especially fortunate to take the reins at a point where British artists are enjoying such incredible success, both at home and around the world. I am indebted to David for leaving the show in such fantastic shape and look forward to working with the Committee to find new opportunities to showcase the talent, creativity and originality that makes the UK music scene great”.

Meanwhile Tony Wadsworth, Chair of BRITs owners the BPI, said: “David’s contribution to the BRITs has been immense. The show has seen some major changes under his confident leadership, including a move to the O2 and a renewed focus on putting artists and performances at the heart of the ceremony. We are equally excited to see what Christian will do as Chairman. His involvement on the committee in recent years has been vital to the ongoing successes and modernisation of The BRITs”.
