Richard Dunmall to leave Bauer following senior restructure

Bauer Media UK, responsible for brands including Closer, Heat and Absolute Radio, has announced an update to its senior team structure as it looks to better integrate its content and commercial operations.

A little less than two years in the role, Richard Dunmall, managing director of Bauer Advertising, is to depart the company at the end of September.

Meanwhile, Abby Carvosso becomes group managing director of Bauer Advertising, while Rob Munro-Hall is to take on the role of group managing director for magazine media.

Sam Jones, managing director of Bauer Xcel, will extend his responsibilities across all of Bauer Media’s digital activities in the UK.

“The opportunities and challenges of today’s media market requires outstanding platform-specific skills, smart brand management, confident cross-platform and strong creative sales leadership,” said CEO Paul Keenan.

“With the creation of this new Bauer Media UK leadership team, an outstanding management team launching new services to extend our radio business and the development of our new broadcast businesses in the Nordic markets we are well placed to realise the multiple opportunities such a dynamic market presents us with.”
