ITV appoint former Tory MP as new chairman
18/11/2009 - 08:29:44Former British Conservative MP Archie Norman was today named as the new chairman of ITV following the broadcaster’s protracted search to replace Michael Grade.
Mr Norman – who used to head up supermarket chain Asda – will take up the role in January, when Mr Grade will bow out.
Mr Grade said he was “delighted” to pass the position on to his successor.
“He inherits a company that is more popular and efficient than it has been for many years and I know he will build on that legacy,” he said.
