Chairman to retire

Centaur Media plc (LSE: CAU), the multi-platform media group, has been advised by Patrick Taylor, the group's Chairman, that he intends to retire by the next AGM, once a suitable replacement has been found. 

Patrick joined the Board in 2004 as a non-executive director and took over as Chairman in 2009.

Patrick Taylor commented:

"I have been with Centaur for many years and it's time for someone else to take on this role. In Andria Vidler, we have a Chief Executive who is transforming the Company in a truly positive way. She has an excellent management team and the business has many terrific brands. I view Centaur's future with excitement and confidence." 

 Christopher Satterthwaite, the senior non-executive director who will lead the search for a successor, commented:

"On behalf of the Board and the whole company, I would like to thank Patrick for leading the Board and his substantial contribution over the past five years. His experience and advice coupled with his commitment to the success of the business have been invaluable. He will leave the business well positioned".
