Group Operations Director To Leave GCap Media
GCap Media operations director Steve Orchard is to leave the company. He will continue as an executive of GCap Media until April 30 but will step down from the board with immediate effect.
Richard Eyre, GCap chairman, said: “Steve is highly respected in the industry for developing and inspiring some of its finest talent.
“His creativity has played a central role in the building of GWR and GCap over a period of 24 years. We wish him every success for the future.”
Orchard said: “I have built strong and enduring relationships with my colleagues over very many years and I am immensely proud of our achievements during my stewardship as group operations director.
“This has been a marvellous journey and I’m looking forward to new challenges outside GCap.”
The news follows an unsuccesful bid to buy GCap by Charles Allen’s Global Radio (see GCap Turns Down Global Radio Takeover Bid).
It also comes as Fru Hazlitt prepares to outline the company’s future after she was appointed as its new chief executive, taking over from Ralph Bernard (see A Fresh Start For GCap With Hazlitt).
Bernard announced he would be stepping down in November last year and he relinquished his position on December 20, with Hazlitt taking over with immediate effect (see Fru Hazlitt Appointed GCap Chief Executive).
