CARLTON APPOINT GROUP FINANCE AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
CARLTON Communications have announced the appointment of Paul Murray as Group Finance Director and Executive Director, with effect from January 1, 2002.
This follows the decision of Bernard Cragg to step down as Finance Director at the end of this year in order to develop other business interests.
Murray, aged 40, is the former Group Finance Director of LASMO. Prior to their acquisition by ENI of Italy for £2.7 billion this year, London-based LASMO were the UK's second largest independent oil and gas exploration and production company.
Murray joined LASMO in 1988 as an economist, and held a number of senior financial and business development roles before being appointed to the Board in 1997.
Michael Green, Carlton's Chairman, said: "Carlton will miss Bernard's brain, judgement and humour. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with him for the last 17 years and wish him good luck and good fortune. Paul Murray is an excellent appointment at an exciting time."
Gerry Murphy, Carlton's Chief Executive, said: "Bernard's friendship and loyalty have been invaluable to me. He leaves with our very best wishes and I am certain the next stage of his career will be fulfilling and rewarding. I am delighted we have attracted someone of Paul's calibre and experience to lead Carlton's strong finance team." (CD)
