PA Group appoints James Murdoch as non-executive director
May 22nd, 2008Posted by Laura Oliver in Uncategorized
James Murdoch, chairman and chief executive, Europe and Asia News Corporation, has joined the PA Group board as a non-executive director.
Murdoch’s appointment, which was announced today as the group released its financial report for 2007, is one of a series of changes to the board with Sir Harry Roche stepping down after 20 years as a director and 13 years as chairman.
The group announced a 25 per cent growth in revenues from its digital business, but a drop of £1.2 million in its total operating profits.
The fall from £2.6 million in 2006 to £1.4 million in 2007 was a result of significant multimedia investment, the group said.
