Clear Channel Outdoor UK chief executive Barry Sayer is leaving the company to join the consortium bidding for Independent News & Media’s South African outdoor business.

Sayer is returning to South Africa to join the Helios Investment Partners-led consortium bidding for INM Outdoor, which currently operates in 13 African countries.

Rob Atkinson, Clear Channel’s UK managing director, will head the business while the company “considers succession plans”.

Originally joining Clear Channel UK on a six month secondment, Sayer’s time here stretched to four years.

William Eccleshare, president/CEO of Clear Channel International, said: “We are enormously grateful to Barry for the job he has done in the UK over the past four years.

“He leaves the business in a robust state and has put together an exceptional management team in whom I have great confidence.”
