Flynn announces intention to leave the 成人快手
Roger
Flynn, Chief Executive, 成人快手 Ventures Group, and a member of the
成人快手's Executive Committee, has announced today his intention to
leave the 成人快手 in Spring 2004.
This
follows his strategic review which concluded that significant savings
of between 拢20-拢30 million per annum can be obtained
for the Corporation through the outsourcing of its technology service
provision.
A further
significant capital sum is expected to be achieved through the sale
of 成人快手 Technology Ltd, which was also announced
today.
He
joined the 成人快手 in 2001 to refocus the Corporation's substantial
range of media service operations under a new commercial division,
成人快手 Ventures Group.
The
Group comprises 成人快手 Technology, 成人快手 Broadcast, 成人快手 Resources and
成人快手 Vecta.
Under
his leadership, the businesses have been incorporated and restructured
to increase customer focus, improve efficiencies and target third
party commercial clients.
As
a business the Ventures Group last year delivered 拢23 million
in savings to the 成人快手, a 拢25 million turnaround to profits
of 拢14.5 million and a 50% growth in third party revenues.
成人快手
Director-General Greg Dyke said today: "Roger has achieved
a remarkable turnaround and created real value in the Ventures businesses.
"I
want to thank him for his total commitment.
"He
has been instrumental in the decision to sell 成人快手 Technology. The
sale will be the culmination of the final phase of his business
plan and a natural point for him to move to bigger challenges."
Roger
Flynn said: "I have really enjoyed my time with the 成人快手 and
I am pleased with the turnaround of 成人快手 Ventures Group.
"All
the businesses are now profitable and in a strong position to evolve
further.
"By
next Spring, the plan I put in place will be completed and the Group
ready to move to the next phase of its development.
"It
is therefore a natural moment for me to seek a new commercial challenge
and I am satisfied that I will be leaving 成人快手 Ventures in good shape,
with a strong management team and prospects in place."
