Charles Gregson to step down as a United Business Media director
United Business Media Plc announces today that Charles Gregson will step down as a member of the Board of United Business Media at the end of December 2007. Mr Gregson remains Chief Executive Officer of PR Newswire.
John Botts, Chairman of United Business Media said:
"Charles is UBM's longest-serving director, having first joined the Board in 1996 following the merger with MAI plc. Charles's acute strategic perspective and depth of understanding of UBM's business have made him a hugely valued colleague and contributor to the Board's deliberations over the past eleven years. The Board will miss Charles's contribution but we understand his wish to focus on his leadership of PR Newswire and to continue its highly successful business development as part of United Business Media."
