Peter Sutton appointed President of CMP Asia
United Business Media Plc today announces that after seven years in his role as Chief Executive of CMP Asia, Peter Sutton has decided to step down in the autumn of this year. Peter joined United Business Media in 1982 and has enjoyed a successful career as a journalist, editor, publisher and senior executive, and has been based in a number of locations - London, Brussels, San Francisco and, for the last twelve years, Hong Kong.

"Peter Sutton has had a long and distinguished career with CMP, stretching over twenty years. Peter has been a major contributor to CMP Asia's development and its tremendous track record of profitable growth since he became Chief Executive in 2000. I am very pleased that Peter has agreed to stay on as CMP Asia's President, I am sure his long experience and expertise in media and of Asia will be invaluable to his successor."
