Danny Cammiade, an executive director of the Company since 2005 and a long serving member of the senior management team, will leave the Company on 31 March 2013 after completing an agreed transition period following the appointment of Ashley Highfield as Chief Executive in November 2011.
The Company has also announced a restructuring that sees its regional publishing unit managing directors now reporting to Group Commercial Director Neil Jones, and previous other direct reports of Danny Cammiade reporting directly into CEO Ashley Highfield.
Chairman of Johnston Press Ian Russell said "Danny has been an integral part of the executive management team and a main board director for many years and has made an immense contribution to the Company. The Board is grateful for his commitment and contribution to the business. We wish him well for the future."
Ashley Highfield, Chief Executive, said "I am very grateful for Danny's support during my first year at Johnston Press where his knowledge and understanding of local communities, and insight into publishing issues have been invaluable. I know from my time in the Company how well regarded he is both internally and in the industry as a whole and wish him well for the future."
