PPL comms chief stands down
By Chris Cooke | Published on Thursday 6 March 2014
PPL has announced that its long-standing communications chief Jonathan Morrish is standing down, though he will continue to work for the rights body in a consulting role on a two-day a week basis. Morrish has been with the UK record industry’s collecting society for eight years, after a stint leading corporate accounts at comms agency The Outside Organisation, and before that a long career at Sony Music.
Explaining his decision to leave his full time role at PPL now, Morrish told CMU: “I have had exactly 40 years in this wonderful business, eight great years at PPL, and I felt that it was time at my age to shift gear a bit and do something different. I shall still be coming into PPL on a regular basis, but there’s much inquisitiveness left inside me and other things already beckon”.
Speaking for PPL, the organisation’s CEO Peter Leathem added: “I absolutely respect that Jonathan wants to reconsider his commitments. However, I am delighted that he has agreed to continue in a part time capacity, and bring his considerable ideas, energy and experience to PPL and that his many contacts are not lost to the company. He is a very good friend and colleague and I much look forward to continue working with him”.
