SMG appoint Singer as non-executive director

The Board of Directors of SMG have appointed Adam Singer as an independent non-executive director.
Mr Singer had been one of the two nominated directors of Telewest Communications plc, a shareholder in SMG. However, Telewest has informed SMG that, following his resignation as chief executive of Telewest, they no longer regard Mr Singer as a nominated director and that, whilst Mr Stephen Cook will remain as their representative on SMG’s board, they have no current plans to appoint a replacement for Mr Singer.
As an independent non-executive director, Mr Singer will be eligible for appropriate directors’ fees and it is SMG’s intention that he will be put forward for election at the Group’s next Annual General Meeting.
Commenting on the Board’s decision, which was reached following a full nomination process, Don Cruickshank, Chairman of SMG, said: “Adam’s an experienced and far-sighted director, whose knowledge of the communications industry has been of great value to SMG over the years. I’m delighted that he has agreed to stay on the Board and that the Group will continue to benefit from his knowledge and judgement.”
