PA Media Group says during his 14-year tenure Clive has led the company’s transformation from national news agency to an international multi-media business with a turnover of more than £110m.
Clive, 65, said: “It’s been a privilege to lead the PA Media Group over these past 14 years with the support of my hugely talented colleagues and, despite all the challenges our industry faces, build such a successful news and information business.
“This has been a tough decision but it’s time for me to retire from this full-time role and spend more time ticking off the dozens of Scottish Munro mountains I still have left to climb.
“PA has been such an important part of my working life. Its role as a lynchpin and innovator in an ever-changing media industry will continue to be critical. I’ll keep driving this brilliant business forward in the months ahead and oversee the smooth transition to new leadership.”
PA Media Group Chairman Murdoch MacLennan said: “Clive has been an outstanding leader, steering the company through a challenging media landscape with commercial vision and formidable determination. He will leave the company in great shape and with our sincere gratitude.”
